Seven friends re-enter each other's lives when billionaire and founder of a massive social media platform Ryan Cloverhill invites them for a weekend away on his private island. Things quickly take a turn for the worse as they hand over their devices, Cloverhill makes a mad dash, and the group is faced with a real trolley problem.

DEVICE FREE WEEKEND by Sean Doolittle was a fun locked room vacation thriller with a cast of quite unlikable characters.

This one borders on sci-fi when it comes to the tech, but I found myself leaning into that element and really enjoying the ride! The use of alternating timelines and POVs kept the story engaging and gave just a hint at what these characters have been through to lead them to this very moment they find themselves in.

So glad to have had a chance to read an early copy of this one thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing!
