I really enjoyed this book and would have given it four stars had it not been for the ending. I was really disappointed with how it ended especially as I was so invested with the characters and their future. The rest of the book was written really well however with some surprising twists I wasn’t expecting.

Cool premise but for some reason I wasn’t getting those “oh my gosh I need to turn the page” vibes.

Would you sign up a for a clinical trial knowing almost nothing about potential side effects??
18-40? PAID CLINICAL TRIAL IN THE CANARY ISLANDS - UP TO £20,000 TAX FREE. It seems like the opportunity of a lifetime … doesn’t it. As the old saying goes though if it seems too good to be true… then it probably is.

Elle is stuck in a dead end job, with a leech of a mum who steals from her and lies and then gaslights her into feeling like shes done the wrong thing. Elle decides enough is enough and books herself a holiday all expenses paid. Mummy dear finds out and she fabricates a lie that sees Elle cancelling her trip and giving her hard earned savings to her mother only to find her out in the lie.

Enough is a enough, drunk and angry Elle gets onto her mothers computer and sees the Too Good to be True clinical trial offer. She shoots off her answers (not as regular nice Elle, as Holiday bad b*tch Elle). She is accepted and before she knows it she is sipping champagne, checking out hot guys and having the time of her life… after a while though things start to slip… What is the drug really doing to everyone… was this a huge mistake…will Elle get out alive??

WOW … I am a major outlier on this one but I HATED this book!!! It was so boring. The first 20% had me … nicely played suckered me in and I kept reading… Why!!!! What made me do that. I have no idea. I have been sick lately I think this booked played me in a moment of weakness.
