Retreat by Krysten Ritter 

Thank you Book of the Month for my copy! 

Liz Dawson moves through the circles of the elite and wealthy with confidence, making her life as a con-artist easy. Without so much as meeting Liz, Isabelle Beresford hires Liz to manage an art installation at her Mexican villa in Punta Minta. Once there, Liz can’t resist the allure of the beach. When she’s mistaken for Isabelle, she slides seamlessly into Isabelle’s life only to discover that being Isabelle isn’t what she imagined. 

This is a dark and twisty tale of deceit that will have you quickly turning the page to find out what happens next. This is the perfect cat-and-mouse game with morally gray wealthy characters, obviously, behaving badly. Despite the unlikeable characters, I found myself rooting for Liz. The plot was propulsive, with a build up to an absolutely unhinged climax (even if it was a little predictable). 

Ritter writes an addictive, sexy story in an exotic location, which is ideal for an escapist read. This book is perfect for reading in one sitting avoiding all responsibility. I highly recommend skipping all your other books on your TBR to read this one!
