A fast paced novel that follows celebrities doing bad things. I was enraptured by the atmospheric setting of Island Home, which transported me and now I feel a deep desire to go this fictional luxury resort. Unfortunately, I was not thrilled by the reveal and the last quarter of the book was a bit more of a slog, but overall I was so taken in by this book it overshadowed my “meh” feelings toward the end. If you’re looking for your next vacation/summer thriller, pick this one up!
