Synopsis

How did I get here? He ripped back the zip, his heart pounding as red dust trickled in and landed on his face. He stood, brushing the dust from his eyes, a sense of vertigo launching itself up his spine. One step from the swag and his eyes snapped open. He started to lean into a void. Over a cliff. Fifteen years after college graduation, four friends reconnect to keep a long-ago promise and go on a trip of a lifetime in the Australian Outback. Eliza needs to disconnect from her high-powered fashion job to consider the CEO position she’s just been offered. Lincoln hopes to rekindle a past relationship and escape from another one. Bree looks forward to a fun getaway from home and her deeply buried disappointments. Andy wants to disappear from the mess he’s made of his life—possibly forever. Dropped at a campsite in the middle of nowhere, the friends quickly discover they aren’t the same people they once were, and they begin to confront hard truths about one another—and themselves. Then a bizarre storm sweeps across their camp, scattering them across the desert. Wondering if they are part of some strange escape game, each of the friends meets a guide to help them find exactly what they need: purpose, healing, courage, and redemption. But they’ve already traveled far down the road of life and course-correcting to become the people they were meant to be won’t be easy.

Goodreads review by Rachael

I was planning on giving this book four stars, but when I found that it didn’t lead to any Christian content I decided to change my rating. The theme of this book is asking yourself who you are, but it never circled around to finding your identity in Christ. I also wasn’t a fan of the ending, but fe......more

2.5 stars First off, I think David Rawlings has an incredible imagination. I love that he combines an intriguing story with a theme and the characters grow and learn through some magical/fantastic circumstances. The one place that I feel this book falls short, which is the same thing that happened in......more

I generally like the trope of prior schoolmates reuniting for something and I didn't dislike it here, but the characters were just okay for me. This is a book that some people will lo......more
