Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books, and Catherine Steadman for the opportunity to read her debut novel. 4.5 stars to this Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick! Wow - can't wait to read more from this author because this was a great book!
The book opens with Erin digging a grave to bury a body. Not just any body - her new husband's body. Then we go back in the past several months to Erin and Mark's story of their relationship and marriage. They hit some hurdles before the marriage - Mark loses his job as a banker and Erin is busy with her film documentary following prisoners leading up to and after their release - but they eventually find themselves on an idyllic honeymoon in Bora Bora. Until they find something in the water.
This is a fast-paced thrill ride although it can be similar to watching a horror movie and shouting to the screen, "No! Don't go in that creepy basement by yourself!" But it is written in such a way that will have you thinking along the lines of...what would I do in this situation?
Highly recommended - bravo on a great debut novel!
