I think this is the first Ruth Ware book I’ve read although I have a vague recollection of the Cabin 10 one? The premise is one I have wondered (while watching of course) could happen. How long until someone on a reality show has a terrible accident filmed live or something this one from this book happens?

It’s been a long time since I read a middle grade book and this one was a winner. So clever and tender. Olivetti’s observations on human behavior were thoughtful and sometimes a gut punch. Life affirming with a careful exploration of a family facing the Most Terrible Thing. Highly recommend

I was never a “Deadliest Catch” fan but my word - this book felt like watching a live show. I fell hard into the life of an Alaskan fisherman. The author spares no detail. Also never read a book where the “shitter” was almost itself a character. The ending really surprised me - didn’t see it comment at all!
