I had a tough time getting into this book. The beginning felt like déjà vu almost as if I were reading The Girl on the Train, but set on a boat instead. The storyline felt overly familiar, and unfortunately, the middle didn’t do much to pull me in either. I found myself just wanting to get through it.
That said, the last 25% completely turned things around. It was gripping, fast-paced, and everything I had hoped the rest of the book would be. And that epic twist at the end? Totally unexpected. I was left thinking, What the heck just happened?
