Description
Aspiring writer Jules lands a dream job assisting famous writer Eva Marshall at her retreat near Lake Atitlán, The Deepest Lake in Central America. One day, her mother, Rose, gets the news that Jules is missing, supposedly after swimming alone, and feared dead. After three months of no answers and no body, Rose decides to go to the writer workshops that Eva offers at her estate. As Rose digs deeper, she discovers there is so much more to this story and Eva has crafted a narrative unlike anything else.
I was interested in the plot but had a hard time connecting with the characters. There wasn’t much depth to them and the conversations were unengaging. I found myself not really caring about what happened. I’m not sure why anyone would go to a writer’s retreat if they were all like this. This story was more weird than suspenseful. Perhaps if you like the author’s other stories, you may enjoy this one. I personally am not a fan of her writing style and storytelling.
