How Bad Things Can GetHow Bad Things Can Get by Darcy Coates
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Yeah. So. This one really didn't connect with me. I mean, Mr. Beast doing a reality TV show contest on Survival Island, only it goes really bad with deep dark mystery island stuff a-la cults. Yeah. Well. Practically none of that sparks me as original or not over-done in today's entertainment.

When books need to steal from youtube and decades of reality tv and a smidge of Jonestown, you know we're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Otherwise, the writing was okay. I simply had a hard time caring.
