Publisher's summary

What could be worse than being stranded on an island?

Try being there with six coworkers that you hate.

Jonathan Jackson and Mark Thompson are the very definition of workplace toxicity.

As their bickering and infighting threatens to destroy the company, the CEO has no alternative but to send them and their colleagues to a team-building retreat.

When the plane crashes en route, the coworkers find themselves stranded on a deserted island with only each other to rely on for survival. With tensions high and psychological demons threatening to overwhelm them, surviving the island may prove easier than surviving each other.

If you love domestic thrillers, and are looking for a book with a storyline that's not set in the usual neighbourhood, family or friendship circle, this unique and fresh thriller is for you. Think 'The Office' meets 'Lord of the Flies' with a dash of 'Lost'.

Interesting concept

It was a story with lighthearted feel good moments. The characters were enjoyable but i didnt enjoy the narator. I feel he was a bit of overacting.

no I in team

I liked that the group did some introspection and revisited past behaviors. Each came up with negatives that they now saw they could improve. The take away was to look to yourself and what you can do to make the team better and more cohesive. What's better for the company is better for the individual and team. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
