Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the sophomore book by Stephanie Wroebel. 3.5 stars rounded up.
Nat and Kit are two sisters, estranged after a difficult childhood and the death of their mother. Kit is searching for peace and discovers Wisewood, a private island off the Maine coast. where guests must commit to a 6-month stay away from technology and the rest of the world in the search for becoming their Maximized Selves. When Nat receives a threatening email sent from Wisewood, that states the sender knows the secret Nat has been keeping from Kit. Nat rushes to Maine to talk to her sister before the author can reveal the secret.
Darling Rose Gold, her debut, was beyond fabulous and maybe I went into this one with too high of hopes. It might have been me, but the multiple POV and timelines were a bit confusing. It just wasn't as gripping as I had hoped, although points for very creepy island cult vibes! I love Wroebel's writing and will be anxiously awaiting her next book!
