I've seen a lot of negative reviews for this book but I honestly don't get it. I enjoyed this book as much as any Lucy Foley or Simone St James book. Honestly kind of wish this was read with a group.. definitely a lot to unpack.

I loved that this book had South Asian representation. I don't know that I've ever seen that in a thriller before. I do wish there was more description of the area – hotel sounds like it would have been a beautiful place to picture had we had more details.

The main character Amaya was kind of conflicting because she was made out to be more and more nuts as time went on (like who really pictures someone dying horrifically every time they annoy you). Her big reveal for what happened was also kind of lack luster – why couldn't she have just said something earlier? Why was the baby a big secret? Why couldn't she ever contact her bestie again? Kaavi's mom seemed to really despise her but later found out she thought she was useful... Idk so many questions.

Kaavi also was made out to be an angel and boy did that girl have some skeletons in her closet. The biggest being that she could just kill someone with seemingly no psychological ramifications.
