"But show me an eighteen-year-old saint, and I'll show you a liar.”

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Three friends in Greece finally want to have the time of their lives. But everything turns out differently. Only two of them came back and what happened remains a mystery to everyone involved, even 10 years later. A mystery that seems to repeat itself when a young woman disappears. I wasn't quite as convinced by this reading as I would have liked. The idea sounds super interesting, and the characters also had potential, but I have to say this potential was not exploited at all. Many actions were so inexplicable and sudden and there were too many gaps in the story itself for me and somehow a total emptiness in the suspense factor, which is not suitable in this case. It also had moments that were more captivating, especially in the past perspective, but I still hoped for more.
