Synopsis

No matter how you try to hide it, the truth will always come out.

When a small plane crash ends with a group of seven teens washed up on a deserted island, their first thought is survival. With supplies dwindling and the fear of being stranded forever becoming more of a reality, they quickly discover that
being the most popular kid in high school doesn’t help when you’re fighting to stay alive.

And when strange and terrifying accidents start to occur all around them, the group realizes that they are being targeted by someone who was on the plane, and that the island isn’t their only danger. A terrible secret from a party the night
before the flight has followed them ashore—and it’s clear that someone is looking for justice. Now survival depends on facing the truth about that party: who was hurt that night, and who let it happen?

Goodreads review by Melany

I enjoyed this read, super short book. It kept me wondering what was happening and why. I found a few characters a bit annoying but other than that it was interesting to see the different characters and how they were during this crazy storyline. I loved how the story built along the way. The ending......more

2.5-2.75 Stars This was a tough novel to rate. I'm glad the novel tackles sexual assaults and abusive relationships, but I wasn't too happy with how it was handled.
