pickLord of the Flies meets Fyre Festival. Rafi, a true crime podcaster, scores a ticket to Fly Fest just to get an interview with River Stone, the headliner who rose to stardom after the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend. Upon arrival on the Caribbean island, nothing is as advertised, and Rafi is the only one who accepts that they‘ve been scammed. With spotty WiFi and un-lux conditions, the influencers and minor celebs soon go savage. 👇🏻
pickI really enjoyed this book. It was definitely different than I expected but it was very good! I really liked the retelling of Lord of the Flies and it was so fun.
pickSuper fun book! I love how it‘s a modern retelling of Lord of the Flies with Fyre Fest. The snark is strong, and the critique of influencers is fantastic.
pickFun and cute. I loved all the ways it poked fun. I definitely went and watched one of the fyre fest docs after reading it lol
I hope you guys have fun reading this too! I‘ll be mailing it out to you tomorrow, Amy 🤗
pickOkay, look, I have no idea how to describe this book to anyone, or any idea how to convey how much I adore it. But I love this book. It is weird, and hilarious, and probably a metaphor for our internet-obsessed existences, but most of all, it's cheese "sandwiches" and bronzer. Does that make sense to someone who hasn't read the book? Probably not. But if you have read it: oink oink. I will read and love anything Goldy writes that Barrett narrates.
Here‘s my #BookSpinBingo board for September! I‘m currently reading five of these (including the tagged book) and I am flying through Fly Fest (so funny on audio!) and Sunbearer Trials (sooooooooo good!!! 🦜), and I‘m looking forward to the other arcs, especially. Starting to add committee reads; next month I start in earnest! 🏆
Absolutely wild
Loved the premise &now I need to watch that Fire Festival documentary people have told me about.
Secondly, how dare this main character be so relatable (but then taken to an extreme that I don't think I would go to)?!
This was ridiculous, and fun, & so much more enjoyable that the book by Golding.
Lemme go be in my feels about how much I'm not the target "look" for the platform & how much I always wonder if that is holding me back.
