This was an insanely slow book for me. I don't always require fast pace or action packed but the back and forth and past, future, character, who is who and who is doodling who or wants to doodle who in the present or past and crushing on who and traumatized by who - was a lot to keep up with (for me).

I'm not trying to be mean but i think 2 stars is too generous for this book.
I loved the premise at first, i mean i really like secluded settings and islands and cemeteries.. But it was so slow and boring and disappointing and i didn't like any of the characters or their decisions, i was basically waiting for this book to end.

1- This wasn't a thriller at all, i feel scammed. This is adult teenage drama with 20 pages of mystery in the end. The whole murder and motives of the characters are not revealed until the last 20 pages and then there's a reveal. That's it.
It feels rushed and bad and by the time i got to the "mystery" part i had lost all interest.

2- Why did we have to be reminded every 2 pages that Will is an extremely good-looking man? Like, okay we get it. It got really annoying after the first 200 times. That's literally all the characters had to say about him. Even when it was his turn to give his POV, he mentions how handsome he is!! Wtf.
(We also are reminded every few pages of how ugly Johnno is, which i also found weird.)

3- The characters are all annoying, literally all of them. Except Hannah and Aoife.
The ushers were unbearable, Johnno is fine except for that part with Olivia which felt so out of nowhere, Will and Charlie are so boring, Jules is unlikable and Olivia is. So. Damn. Annoying. She's literally the most annoying character ever. I understand she's been through trauma but oh my good her decision making skills are awful and everything is so dramatic with her, it's like she actively TRIES to get into s••••• situations.
And why did she decide not to tell Jules about the whole thing with Will ? How stupid can you be?

4- The ending is one the most rushed endings i've ever read in a book. And i'm not even gonna go into how weirdly everything wraps up, how convenient everything had to have been for the murder plot to work. It doesn't make any sense.

5- This. Book. Was. Slow. Veeeery very slow. Not enjoyably slow. So much vomit inducing sexual tension and so much drama and romance, everything but the thriller part.
Like i really don't give a s••• about anyone's sex life, i was in for the murder mystery and the thrill, but like i said that only comes in in the last 20 pages of the book. Very disappointing.
