This was a pretty interesting concept for a book, but it just didn't work for me. I felt the book was very slow paced and it seemed like nothing was really happening for majority of the book. For the most part, the twists were pretty predictable and a lot of the plot was either too far fetched or flat. This book didn't feel like a thriller to me. Really this book was just about an island of misogynistic men. It seemed to end very abruptly, though there was an epilogue.

2.0

Male voices of the audiobook weren’t great and the third person narrative was strange since the story was all from Abigail’s point of view. Pretty predictable storyline but relatively fast paced, would recommend reading in one go. Overall felt like an unfinished first draft, lots of potential but nothing was fully connected  and fleshed out.
