You want a fast-paced page-turner without deep exploration of grief and obsession.
You're looking for a straightforward linear narrative rather than a puzzle that demands your attention.

About this book

Two years ago, a small plane disappeared over Fiji with Erin's sister Lori on board. Erin was supposed to be on the flight but missed it after a bitter argument. Since then, she has obsessed over the details, unable to move forward while everyone else assumes Lori is dead. When the plane's pilot unexpectedly surfaces in Fiji with no memory of the crash, Erin travels there in a final attempt to find her sister. What she discovers proves far more complex than she anticipated. The Castaways follows two sisters whose lives are upended when their vacation takes a catastrophic turn. The novel centers on a missing plane, a remote island, and the consequences of a family rift.
