    From the author of Reese’s Book Club Pick and instant USA Today bestseller The Unwedding, a novel of suspense and friendship about three friends who decide to disappear from their lives for a few days while on a trip to a national park—only to have one of them vanish.  
      Hope, Ash, and Caro met at an online book club. Over the past two years, they’ve been there for each other in every way—except in person. When each of their lives reach a crossroads, they decide to meet in real life at the gorgeous Sonnet Resort at Eden National Park.  
       Hope, an actress, has become entirely too famous and needs to get away from it all. Ash, a successful online entrepreneur, isn’t sure what has happened to her marriage. Caro, a doctor, has lost a patient and doesn’t know if she wants to carry on or start all over. And none of them are telling each other the full story …

*MY THOUGHTS*

I don’t think me and Ally Condie’s books get along. I was so excited for this and I even spent a credit I had been sitting on. I KNEW it was going to be a Nikki book because it sounded like something I would like. But the execution was what was lacking.

Ok so it was weird that I didn’t like this because it seemed like something I would. But it just didn’t work. it started out so good! But then the middle of the book got a little boring and a little confusing. By the ending I didn’t even feel like it was a mystery or thriller. When she met those people I thought this was going in a completely different direction, but nope, it went in the safest way possible. That’s kind of how the whole book was. After a certain point, everything seemed safe, Like if I wanted that I wouldn’t have picked up a thriller. I know that sounds weird for this to have a flash flood that washed so many people away, but that’s what it was. (And for those people that magically made it? Yeah I don’t believe it for one second.

The thing that kept me reading was the characters. I was more interested in their lives and why all these people kept popping up. I just KNEW one of them was crazy and going on a rampage. Or at the very least that one person being famous had something to do with anything. But alas, none of that panned out and I ended the book on a sour note. (Because really, wtf was that ending?)

Idk I just feel really betrayed by this because her YA books are so good! I really can’t tell you what it is about her adult thrillers that don’t make sense to me. But I know one thing, I won’t be using another credit on them. Off to find another thriller. This did not scratch the itch for me at all.

Overall, I give this
