Locked-room thriller at its finest. A unique premise of waking up alone on a cruise ship, there were so many twists and turns I wasn’t expecting, and I just did not want to put the book down because I had to know what happens next.

When the big twist happened, at first I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but overall I think it had a great commentary on the exploitative nature of reality TV that honestly didn’t seem that far off from how people are treated on these shows today. The ending made me so mad and upset though (in a good way) that I’ve been stewing on for days.
