I really enjoyed this book. I watched the movie first, but it stayed true to the book for the most part. In my opinion, the book is better. Rachel was an ok character and I can’t figure out why she gave Nick and his people chance after chance. Nick wasn’t all he was cracked up to be. Talk about sheltered. It amazed me that he really didn’t see the issues with his family and friends. Also, it was baffling that he didn’t realize that he needed to prep Rachel before the trip. I could decide if he was careless or clueless. Overall, this is a good book with lots of drama and scandal. It’s also a quick and easy read.
