For anyone that needs it, here are the characters on the trip: • Vicky & Daniel & their twins • Jonathan (vickys brother) & Rachel (younger girlfriend) & Darcey (Jonathan & Fiona’s daughter) • Paddy (Vicky’s ‘ex’) & Amira • Fiona (Vicky’s best friend, single, Jonathan’s ex, Darcey’s mum) • Louise (single, only recently moved back from working abroad, previously close friends with Vicky)
Very hard to keep track of all the characters as none of them are given v obviously different traits or descriptions. The two middle class couples particularly, I kept getting confused.
Type'O'Negative remembered: There is no pain like that of desire: Is there no difference between women and fire? One burns the spirit, the other the flesh: Is sex worth the price of certain death?
I really like this author but, unfortunately, even after eight attempts right from the beginning, it was just too confusing to follow. So many people all at once but none with any outstanding characteristic you can hang onto and identify them or their storyline. I feel sad abandoning what might be a good book in the end but life is too short....😞
Well, I’m only a short way into this and I do love this author so I will persist in. The narrator is great. However, at this point there are so many characters that it’s painful to try and keep track of who’s who.
The first 10 min I had to start a spreadsheet just to keep track on the names and their relation to the other characters 🤣 Now I'm an hour and a half in and loving the suspense so far!!!!
I’m glad it’s not just me… 42 minutes in and I’m giving up because I can’t keep up with the characters and the changing perspectives. This is where multiple narrators, with noticeably different voices would be especially helpful. Too bad, since I have enjoyed other books from this author!

Goodness, even with the cast list I'm struggling! Thank you - this is very helpful.
Thank you x
Wow. What a group of complicated misfits! Interesting story. Thanks for posting.
I'm exhausted after listening to this story. I had to keep going until I finished listening. Wonderful narration. Captivating story.
I loved this story. Thank you for sharing it 😊

I’m 6 hours in and still can’t keep up with whom is married to whom. Doesn’t matter much though, the story is choppy.

And here I was thinking I'm losing my ability to focus😅. It gets better though.
Scrolling on Facebook in 2007?
So many characters I really got confused. Great narration though
Difficult to follow, but we'll read and engaging. Not thrilled about the ending....too many lose endings I feel
