Life in Hawaii isn’t quite living up to the dream that Lux and her boyfriend Nico imagined when they set sail for Maui. She has had to take a job as a maid at a high end hotel, and he seems content enough to let her clean rooms and pay the bills while he works on the docks.Their boat-“The Susannah” is in need of repairs they can’t afford-the adventures they planned are on hold. Until, college friends Brittany and Amma, arrive and offer Nico $50,000 to be their Captain. They want to travel to Mer...
HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY!Lux and her boyfriend, Nico, aren’t exactly living the life of luxury in Hawaii. In fact, when Lux followed him there from California, she thought they were going to be cruising on his boat, traveling the world via the Pacific and just enjoying each other’s company. Things don’t go according to plan. Then, one day Nico meets two young women, besties Brittany and Amma, who offer to pay him $50,000 to take them (via boat) to a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific so t...
I'm super confused. I thought Reckless Girls was a mystery/thriller. But in that case, what book did I just read?I thought I was promised a story about six people on an island, cut off from all civilization and help. At first, everything is perfect and they all think it's paradise. But slowly, strange things start to happen and of course, there is no escape. So you mean a locked-room mystery on an island? Say no more!Except, I honestly couldn't find the mystery or anything resembling a thriller
Let’s get reckless and do a math review, shall we? +15 points = That cover! You’re going to pick this up with the expectation that it’ll be a page-turning beach read, right? Well good news! What you see is what you get. +15 points = The setting. Reckless Girls is a “locked island” thriller that plops seven 20-something characters on a remote South Pacific island where some creepy things have happened in the past. It’s like “Bachelor in Paradise” meets “The Island of Doctor Moreau” (minus Marlon
“What am I when you strip everything else away? I’m a motherfucking survivor.” 3.5 stars Reckless Girls is a tension-packed read about a group of mostly entitled 20 somethings who stumble upon each other during a trip to a remote island. What starts off as a fun journey filled with alcohol and beautiful people becomes a dangerous and sinister stay that leads to murder. After Lux meets Nico while waitressing at a restaurant in San Diego, she follows him to Hawaii with the idea that they will sail...
Reckless Girls by Rachel HawkinsUsually I don't enjoy stories where I feel like the characters make a lot of unwise decisions. But, with the title of Reckless Girls, what did I expect? In this case, I enjoyed this story of several 20-something women living life on the wild-ish side. It was towards the very end of the novel that the story really goes lopsided, far fetched, and over the top. Lux's life has been difficult since she had to drop out of college to care for her dying mother. Once her m...
3.5 STARSA lifetime movie on steroids if I do say so. Reckless Girls is my second read from Rachel Hawkins, and I enjoyed this one even more than The Wife Upstairs! While you will need to suspend your disbelief to enjoy this one, the drama, twists, and rapid changes in POV and tense make this a compulsive book that is nearly impossible to put down. A fun, popcorn thriller that made for the perfect winter time read while wanting to escape to a tropical environment. I can't wait to see where the a...
Doesn’t sailing off to a secluded, private island in the South Pacific sound amazing right about now? Not another single person in sight. Ah yes…just you, the sand and the sea.🏖Lux has followed her boyfriend Nico from California to Hawaii. Their grand plan was to set sail to their heart’s content, island hopping with no agenda whatsoever.⛵️Not so fast, Captain! Just an itty-bitty issue or two to iron out first. Problems with the boat and lack of money left them dry-docked in Hawaii indefinitely....
Livin the dream?Well, not exactly.A girl, Lux and her boyfriend, Nic decide to take up an offer to sail two women they meet to a remote island in the Pacific. Meroe Island was my favorite aspect of the story. It was picture perfect and gave off some eerie vibes of being off the grid. Lux is the narrator and she could have used a call a friend life line more than once! The F word was Nic's favorite and I think he used it in every other sentence. I guess he had a limited vocabulary.They encounter
I am thrilled to tell you all that I loved this one! Talk about unputdownable! Lux has met the man of her dreams in Nico and Nico has just been offered $50,000 to sail two college girls to Meroe Island. Nico, unable to say no to an adventure, asks Lux to join them. Not only that but this money they can use to finally fix their boat, The Susannah, which means after this trip they can set sail just the two of them. Meroe Island is steeped in myth after a shipwreck happened on its shores during WWI...
