2.75
this suffered from the pretty little liars effect why are you introducing someone halfway through and telling me he’s bad and weird and scary
like these people had such deep backstories which could lead them to do anything out of grief and terror
probably 90% of the way through something real happened that wasn’t them just like sitting down and drinking on the island
the island makes you crazy??? HOW !!! are you seeing things? are you having more violent thoughts throughout the day??? or are you just letting me know
it just didn’t follow through things would be revealed and i was like “ok”
the ending did make me gasp a bit where was that throughout it all?? the story is built in the “before” segments of the book and nothing happens in the current day
i kept waiting but like all of the reveal at the end besides one part didn’t even matter because it was nothing they were just words they made me feel nothing!!
big spoiler:
still 2.75 because the backstories were great, there was some hints of good foreshadowing, the setting was fun, and i loved Lux, Britt, Amma, and Eliza (Nico was an ass from page 5)
