"Thank You, NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Landmark<br/>Publish Date: Aug 6th, 2024<br/>⭐⭐⭐⭐/5<br/><br/>Such a fun read! <br/><br/>thrilling novel that begins with Dan and Mara's vacation at a newly opened resort. Their peaceful getaway is shattered when the sun explodes, plunging everyone into a desperate struggle for survival. Stranded on the island with no way to contact the mainland United States, Dan, Mara, and the other guests must navigate the chaos and fight to stay alive. Wassmer masterfully builds tension, creating a fast-paced and gripping narrative. The resort, initially a paradise, quickly becomes a sora-like cult because they start to ration food and shower time you have to do a certain time depending on what building you are in building A is in charge of everyone they are super rich and building B is the middle class and C is slightly lower than B. <br/><br/>There is a tiny bit of romance with Mara and Dan <br/><br/>Loved it overall!"
