At around the 40% mark, reading this became hard. I didn't like the characters. We were shown their negative sides without being given anything that'll connect me to their story. I felt a tiny, tiny connection to Leo and Poppy but not enough to care about what happened to them.
The most annoying thing was how they didn't talk to each other, even in moments where talking would've cleared things up for them and connect the dots sooner.
When the action came and things were revealed, it was ruined by paragraphs of internal dialogue. It put a pause on the action and ruined the tension for me.
Also, this is a nitpick, but their names felt out of place. Ezra, Poppy, Lark, Gemma. Those are names I expect from a fantasy or scify story, not a modern thriller. It'll be like reading a fantasy book and one of the fae is named Johnny.
The ending was okay. Felt a bit rushed just to get to that final chapter. I feel hollow inside. This story had an amazing premise, stuck on a remote island, but the execution throughout the story ruined it for me.
