Welcome to Litsy!

Started off good, but then meandered too much. Then we figured out everything and there was still an hour left in the audiobook which wasn‘t necessary at all.

I'm at a resort in Big Sur. 🥂

Im sorry I just did not like this book. The usual trapped on an island murder story. The only saving grace was it was from one perspective and not 8 other characters although there are a lot of characters to keep up with. For me, the story just dragged, the way the MC figured everything out was just beyond reality, the ending was cheesy, the murder was stupid. I skimmed a lot to be honest. Save yourself and don‘t waste your time.

This was a fun twisty book to listen to while I was puttering this weekend.

The murder mystery was interesting, but not really thrilling. I think it was more of a comfortable type read, a little slow, but with a good focus on the characters. I loved the exploration of trauma. I think that was the best part of the story. Especially how that weaved in throughout everything going on in the story. The ending was a bit disappointing, but it fit with the feel of the story.

15 years ago there was a single-season show called Harper‘s Island. A group goes to an island for a wedding and guests start dying off. This reminded me so much of it! Definitely less gruesome deaths in the book, but the same sort of feel. This one was a little more reflective about past trauma, and the ending felt weak to me, but it was a fun read. I like that despite being a murder mystery there‘s minimal violence & good supporting characters.

I‘m struggling to find some redeeming qualities to this. I listened on audio. It‘s truly awful. I cannot understand the hype. Save yourselves.

This was a thrilling read and it was full of twists and turns. This was a highly anticipated read for me when it was released and I‘m so glad it lived up to the hype.

My July #doublespin 🎇! I‘m somewhat over people trapped on secluded resorts/etc., but this one had engaging enough characters to get keep it interesting.

Current audiobook.

I‘ve been in the mood for a thriller set in a fun location, and this fit the bill! I was interested in Ellery and her story right away. There wasn‘t much suspense or action for most of this, though, and I wasn‘t emotionally invested in the mystery. There was too much explaining instead of storytelling. 🎧 #reesesbookclub
