If the sun exploded while you were vacationing at a brand new tropical island resort what would you do? Well, give it a zero star recommendation of course!! This book is so fun, quirky, filled with satire and drama! I love a good survival story but this one goes above and beyond with it's wit and humor added in that it'll have you laughing all the way to the....end?! Will they survive or won't they?

Thoroughly enjoyed this one and would definitely recommend to those who love a good laugh while trying to survive. Definitely gave off a bit of "Shaun of the Dead" and/or "Zombieland" vibes.

Many thanks to NetGalley, SOURCEBOOKS Landmark, Sourcebooks Landmark, and MJ Wassmer for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This one was definitely fun.
I love a survival story. Especially when it comes to being trapped somewhere far away and peoples true colors start to shine through. It’s always so interesting and maddening to me! So I ate this up.

There were definitely some questionable terms and words used in the book that I wasn’t a fan of.. I guess to me I feel like “maybe just not” but some of it played into the character development of the MC

Speaking of which I’m glad he had Mara to talk sense and accountability into him bc wow he could be a prick.

The way certain events unfolded is crazy to me bc it’s something I’m 100% would actually happen when people in different social classes end up in a situation such as this. Again maddening..

I did really enjoy the plot of this book though! It also did have a lot of humor and wit did enjoy!

Wow. Five stars, do recommend.

This will certainly be a book to pick up when it releases later this year. The copy on netgalley has some formatting issues, but the story is insane.

Shortly after the sun ceased to exist I started to think of the Stanford Prison Experiment and Lord of the Flies, but with in a newly opened remote island resort. The absolute worst parts of humanity were on full display as this cast of mostly unlikeable humans attempted to survive the apocalypse. The buildings themselves operated as a bit of a caste system, and the people from Building A wound up seizing control and letting a MLM woman and her megachurch pastor husband take the lead. I truly do not know if a more terrible duo could exist. There are murders, unsolved true crime mysteries, people behaving horrendously, and a few failed attempts to stage a rebellion against the worst couple in history.
