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.

 Abigail met an extremely rich man, fell in love, and got married...kind of. On her honeymoon Abigail has a one night stand (really in love), but then decides she really does love him. She continues with the marriage because he's super rich she loves him.

She is relaxing and enjoying her reclusive honeymoon, when she sees him. She is so caught up in his presence that she doesn't notice the strangeness of the island around her.

I'm gonna need men to stop writing thrillers where the "thrill" is that the husband is abusive or the men hate women. Try harder!

The only reason I kept reading past the halfway point is because I thought that, surely, this wasn't just going to be about a bunch of men who hate women, right?? There must be something else going on like a weird science experiment or... truly anything else. But then, SURPRISE! That's all it's about. And since by that point I was 75% in, I just switched to 2x speed and powered through, but I was only half listening because I kept rolling my eyes at the absurdity of it all.

I love Swanson’s writing, but the pacing of the book was a bit weird.
I found it hard to get into and keep interested. 
I liked the ideas.
