This book had the most interesting opening. When the 30 year old characters in this novel were in their twenties, there was a school group massacre. Kate of the groups found the victims dead at a guesthouse but this was in 2001 so the world remembers 9/11 and not this awful day. Not surprisingly, she is still suffering from what she saw that day. She bonds with the other women in the holiday group as they all suffered after that day. This is a group of women who share, albeit a horrible experience, one that bonds them.

A holiday to the Maldives then sounds ideal – Sapphire Island sounds amazing. Sadly it’s not real but it sounds so lovely that if any of the real life resorts is half as good, I am on the next plane. Without what happens next of course….

The 22nd anniversary of that day is approaching so to mark it away from the familiar surroundings is ideal. However, wait until you meet the honeymoon couple! This anniversary is going to be one they will never forget.

This was such a ride! The twists and build up were brilliant and even though I suspected one part, it was so worth the journey. Paradise has never felt so dark and the setting really added a sense of foreboding to the overall feel of the story.

Oh to lie on a beach in the Maldives and read this, looking around at anyone that might reassemble the women in my head….
