Welcome to Litsy!

🐚Story about a bunch of teens who get stranded on an island & must fight for survival.
🐚Fast-paced & character driven.
🐚Atmospheric.
🐚Antagonist is akin to Cersei Lannister in many ways.
🐚Has mental health rep.
🐚Strong motifs of inherent malevolence that can drive a person‘s desire for power & self-preservation.
🐚Ambiguous in certain respects, such as the finale.
🐚A bit too much teen romance drama for my tastes.
🐚Contemplative.
🐚3.5/5.

Was going to finish reading this, but apparently it‘s being used as a pillow.

Look at his face! Total innocence while complete rejection of me taking my book back. 😭😭

Meanwhile Kiki is just snoozing on. 😂😂

I enjoyed "Lord of the Flies" so much, I thought I'd like this one, and I was right. Kept me in suspense from the very beginning until the end, I was just left hanging though with that ending.
