2020: Meh. The characters in this novel were pretty interesting, and I was super intrigued from the beginning as to what was actually going to happen on this retreat. But it feels like a bunch of random people were put together in a secluded place, a deus ex machina in the form of a drug trip gone wrong swoops in to connect them all, and then they all go their separate ways.

I'll say, I'm not a drug user myself, so maybe it's just harder for me to imagine having never experienced tripping. But I find that the medium of film does a much better job of portraying what a trip feels like (I'm thinking Booksmart and Midsommar off the top of my head recently).

A fun beach read with complex characters and almost zero plot that leaves the characters pretty much exactly where they started.
