Another middle of the road thriller for me - I think that I might fall in the weird minority here because most of the review I see about this book are polar opposites. Most people either really love it or really fucking hate it. I am of the group that doesn't feel strongly in either way, but enjoy my reading experience non the less. 

We're following the main character Alex, as she embarks on a journey to an elite writing retreat along with a few other girls hosted at the home of a famous author. She couldn't be more excited to be a part of this experience, even IF her Wren, her former best friend is also going to be in attendance. When they arrive, there is definitely a bit of an odd vibe about the place, but each girl is determined to write THE best story and score the prize of a huge publishing deal...but things are not as they seem. 

Overall, I really like how the book was written and I liked that there was always just enough information given to us to keep us guessing but not enough that you every truly knew what was happening. I loved the plot-twist about 3/4 of the way thru when you finally understand WHAT is happening and now have to see how it's going to play out. However, I was not satisfied with the ending and I think the first-half could have been written a little more quickly, more showing and less telling? 

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is the author's debut and I will definitely continue to read from them and see what else they have to offer in the future. All in all I think it's worth checking out if you're interested but I wouldn't say it's a 'MUST HAVE'.
