This was a good debut - a lot of twists and turns. Some I predicted, some I didn’t. I loved the cast of narrators.

Loved the audiobook - the narrators and the sounds of the ocean throughout. I overall enjoyed the story, but unless I missed something, the ending seemed contradictory to a major point of the entire book.

This was a good read, but I wasn’t a fan of the audio narrator. His voice was distracting me quite a bit and took away from the story.
