Beschrijving

In a secluded boarding school on an island overrun by a mysterious and dangerous plague known as the Tox, three girls band together in the shadows of their shattered lives. As the environment warps their bodies and minds, friendships deepen while fears intensify, creating an unsettling mix of loyalty and uncertainty. Hetty battles to uncover the truth behind the Tox, Reese learns to adapt despite her new limitations, and Byatt finds herself drifting away, consumed by the horrors surrounding them.

This haunting tale dives into themes of survival, identity, and the lengths one goes to protect loved ones. With a blend of eerie atmosphere and gripping emotional depth, it offers an unforgettable journey through love, loss, and the indomitable spirit of youth as they navigate a world turned upside down by chaos.

Spoiler3.5 stars - not quite a 4, but 3 feels harsh.At first, I really enjoyed the story and characters. You're thrown into a tense situation, it's been over a year since the island has been quarantined and the students and teachers have had to create a "new normal". Their bodies have changed in unimaginable ways, they've lost friends and struggle to survive. The first half is great, but the second half feels rushed and unfinished. There are loose ends with no explanation, which is odd given the main characters are searching for the truth. The story becomes about the journey and experiences, which isn't "enough". It's a book that leaves you wanting much more.
