So the blurb tells you this is a story of Hope, who goes on holiday with a group of lads to Malia an wakes up one morning on the beach. Her dress is around her waist and she can remember nothing. Where exactly were the boys, her supposed friends?
I assumed this tale would be about a crime but one drunken day and night is actually the catalyst that makes this band of brothers examine their behaviour. Slowly secrets unravel - in the haze of this boozy holiday it seems that one of their number was pulling the strings in a potentially dangerous and underhand way.
As personalities become exposed the group begins to fall apart - previous alliances buckle under the strain and individual weaknesses begin to appear.
The story covers the space of a year and is told from the perspective of three of the main characters - Hope, Logan and Daisy.
The male/female angles are very interesting and you really get into the psyche of these teens.
In all honesty (as a 40 something reader) I'm really not the target audience for this book but I found that I just couldn't put it down.
