PopSugar 2024 reading challenge #17
Who wouldn't want to visit Thailand? It is absolutely a place on my bucket list and at the beginning of the story, it will be on yours as well. Resorts, gorgeous beaches, wonderful food, plenty of drinks, etc. But eventually paradise comes crashing down in this novel about secrets, not being able to trust your friends, and murder. That's right, someone gets murdered and that's what sparks off our journey.
This is one of those books where it was fun, it was decent, but it was a slow burn, and once I got to the 'twist' it was something you kind of see coming. I can't say I felt deeply about any of the characters. It was a fun beach read type thriller/mystery but not one that's going to stick with me forever. Decent, not great. Would definitely read more by the author though!
