Our Last Resort by Clémence Michallon
4.0
"Everything's easier in the daylight. We're all braver in the morning."
Frida and her brother Gabriel have just arrived at the luxurious resort Ara in Utah where they plan to reconnect after years apart following a tragedy. When the young wife of one of the guests is found dead, Frida and Gabriel must confront their pasts growing up in a cult in relation to current events.
OUR LAST RESORT by Clémence Michallon is the perfect read to take to the beach this summer!
Alternating timelines between a fancy resort a la The White Lotus and decades previous where Frida and Gabriel grew up in the folds of a cult, this book was impossible to put down.
Michallon really allows her characters to fully embrace the page, taking her readers on their own journey in discovering their pasts, truths, and lies. I felt like Frida and Gabriel became physical beings as the story progressed and more of who they were as people came to light.
While a bit of a departure from her previous novel, I think a lot of readers will still find themselves getting sucked into this story, which explores some of the darker parts of humanity.
Thanks to NetGalley and Knopf for my early copy for review - out July 8!
