Reckless Girls

3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is my second book from this author. The first being “The Wife Upstairs”. I just feel as though this authors writing style isn't for me. Although the characters are all in their 20s (some early 20s, some later) it felt as though they read younger to me - more like teenagers.

I did want to DNF in the beginning but I pushed through. It got more interesting half way through. I could've done without countless use of the word “reckless” - we get it from the title.. they're reckless.

Some of the things that happened and the choices made in the book just didn't seem to make sense to me. The characters weren't very likable. I was a bit bored with the “Before” chapters although I guess I understood why it tied in. Although I do understand the point the author was trying to come across with the ending, it just felt convoluted and nonsensical at times.

It was just an okay read for me.

I had the best time reading this locked Island whodunnit. The only thing that would've made it better is a July release date and me reading it on a sunny beach. I loved the back stories for all the women. Their narratives were well fleshed out and made me care -for the most part- about their stories. I'm partial to a high body count and this one delivers. My only real beef is the title. Don't blame the ladies in this one. It's the men that are terrible in this tale. 4 stars. Compulsive read but save it for the beach if you can.
