dark tense medium-paced

• Loveable characters? No

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This was a little slow to start and then picked up and had a few surprises I didn’t see coming and then dropped off again with an ending that felt a little confusing and anticlimactic. Overall a decent beachy thriller.

What a gripping book, I was hooked reading about the shady dealings of the wealthy and elite (and those trying to be the wealthy and elite). I liked how the end tied in nicely with some parts in the middle of the book, as well as the non-linear narrative that was similar to Memento.
