You’ll want to stay. Until you can’t leave...

A group of strangers arrive on a beautiful but remote island, ready for the challenge of a lifetime: to live there for one year, without contact with the outside world.

But twelve months later, on the day when the boat is due to return for them, no one arrives.

Eight people stepped foot on the island. How many will make it off alive?

Ratings and reviews

I'm terrible at reviewing, so I'll just say that I finished the book in one sitting. Very gripping, with great writing. I especially loved that the descriptions were detailed enough to paint the scene beautifully, but not so much so as to bore you to death as could have been the case with a survival-type scenario. I very much related to the protagonist, and really felt for her. Fab! My only peeves were the timeline flipflopping which I'm not personally very keen on (although it does create suspense), and a bit too heavy-handed application of foreshadowing. Regardless — a brilliant book. I want more!

a mix of survivor, castaway, and lord of the flies. great! hope they make a movie.

a book for reality TV fans. unfortunately I don't fit in that category
