What would a group be willing to do to protect their version of paradise? Allie Reynolds writes about a group of surfers in her new book, The Swell. "Kenna travels to Australia hoping to convince her best friend Mikki to come back to the UK. Mikki has fallen in with a group of surfers that have claimed a remote beach as their own. Kenna discovers that the Tribe has secrets...and that there are some suspicious deaths. She hopes that she doesn't become one of them" This is a story full of unlikable characters. Even Kenna makes you cringe at times. The story did drag a bit about halfway. There are a lot of wild team-building activities (Just ignore the jellyfish - it doesn't sting much. We haven't seen many sharks) There are some interesting dynamics in the group. The ending was unexpected. I was hoping for a little more resolution. Good for readers that like some outdoor fiction and unreliable narrators. #theswell #alliereynolds #putnambooks #surffiction #booksinaustralia #australianauthors #netgalley #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPktCcrwK4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
