Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for gifting me a digital ARC of the new thriller by Sara Ochs, author of The Resort. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Ten years ago, six college students meet in an Australian summer study abroad program meant to introduce them to the beauty of the country and immerse them in the culture. In reality, it's a long, alcohol-fueled party, with hook ups and friendships turned wrong. When Phoebe disappears, the group decides to pack up and leave the past behind along with their secrets. Until they all receive a call that Phoebe's body has been found and they must return.
I love a good destination thriller, and this one highlighted Australia beautifully. Plus, every one of the students is holding secrets in both the past and present timelines and it's fun to see them peel back slowly. The story unfolds with two distinct voices and timelines - Phoebe in the past and Claire in the present. The plotting and pacing were great and I liked how little truths kept revealing themselves along with some twists and turns. A great vacation read without leaving home!
