En Fran\u00e7ais, nous avons \u201cTrois\u201d par Valerie Perrin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Staff Pick of the Week is \u201cReckless Girls\u201d by Rachel Hawkins. From the book jacket:<\/p>\n

When Lux McAllister and her boyfriend, Nico, are hired to sail two women to a remote island in the South Pacific, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. Stuck in a dead-end job in Hawaii, and longing to travel the world after a family tragedy, Lux is eager to climb on board\u00a0The Susannah\u00a0and set out on an adventure. She\u2019s also quick to bond with their passengers, college best friends Brittany and Amma. The two women say they want to travel off the beaten path. But like Lux, they may have other reasons to be seeking an escape.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nShimmering on the horizon after days at sea, Meroe Island is every bit the paradise the foursome expects, despite a mysterious history of shipwrecks, cannibalism, and even rumors of murder. But what they don\u2019t expect is to discover another boat already anchored off Meroe\u2019s sandy beaches. The owners of the\u00a0Azure Sky,\u00a0Jake and Eliza, are a true golden couple: gorgeous, laidback, and if their sleek catamaran and well-stocked bar are any indication, rich. Now a party of six, the new friends settle in to experience life on an exotic island, and the serenity ofbeing completely off the grid. Lux hasn\u2019t felt like she truly belonged anywhere in years, yet here on Meroe, with these fellow free spirits, she finally has a sense of peace.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nBut with the arrival of a skeevy stranger sailing alone in pursuit of a darker kind of good time, the balance of the group is disrupted. Soon, cracks begin to emerge: it seems that Brittany and Amma haven\u2019t been completely honest with Lux about their pasts\u2013\u2013and perhaps not even with each other. And though Jake and Eliza seem like the perfect pair, the rocky history of their relationship begins to resurface, and their reasons for sailing to Meroe might not be as innocent as they first appeared.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nWhen it becomes clear that the group is even more cut off from civilization than they initially thought, it starts to feel like the island itself is closing in on them. And when one person goes missing, and another turns up dead, Lux begins to wonder if any of them are going to make it off the island alive.<\/em><\/p>\n
