Perfect for you if...

You love survival thrillers where the real danger comes from who's trapped in the boat with you, not just the weather outside.
You're after a page-turner with actual stakes: no rescue coming, no adults to call, just teenagers figuring out who they can trust.
You want a premise that sounds simple on the surface but gets darker and messier the further the characters get from shore.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a guaranteed happy ending for all your main characters. This one makes choices about who lives and dies that stick.
You prefer slow-burn character studies over propulsive plots that demand you keep turning pages past midnight.
You're looking for something light and fun. The tone here is tense and claustrophobic, especially once the real conflict starts.

About this book

A vacation in paradise turns deadly when four teens' sailing charter hits stormy seas in this propulsive new thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Megan Lally! Hannah is having an incredible spring break. A week at a resort in Mexico with her best friend Emmy and her family is perfect for de-stressing from senior year, even if it's awkward being around Emmy's older brother, Jackson, who she's had a crush on for as long as she can remember. Still, the beach is gorgeous. So is the guy they meet in the surf. Except Hannah is now the third wheel in Emmy's vacation romance. Eager to impress Emmy, her wealthy new boyfriend charters a private sailboat to make the most of their last day in paradise, and Hannah and Jackson are invited along. As the clouds roll in and the skies darken, their boat is the only one leaving the marina. And the further they get into open water, the more unsettled Hannah becomes. A storm is brewing onboard that's as deadly as the one racing toward them. Forget surviving graduation. Who will make it back to land alive? Read more
