This book is complicated.  On one hand there is a group of long time friends on the other hand they are all somewhat toxic to each other.  They go on a vacation because the highly insecure and self absorbed Pia wants to go.  None of the others has backbone enough to make other suggestions.   They end up going somewhere that none of them are properly prepared for, they don’t make certain they have basic necessities with them.   They have an accident and then fall into trouble the whole time emotionally abusing each other instead of pulling together.

It wasn’t a pleasant group.
