Saint X by Alexis Schaitkin

3.0

I really enjoyed Schaitkin's prose and her descriptions of the paradise of Saint X and the inability of everyone to truly enjoy it was beautiful. The narrative was less engaging and after the inciting incident I found myself less intrigued by Claire/Emily as a character than I had been with Allison in the earlier chapters.

This is a worthwhile summer read and I devoured it rather quickly, but the narrative is not the most captivating and the inevitable twist was a bit of a letdown.
