“Marissa Stapley’s writing is a gift.”—Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author

Miles Markell is missing, and everyone is a suspect.

To the guests at The Harmony Resort, Doctors Miles and Grace Markell appear to be a perfect power couple. They run a couples’ therapy retreat in a luxurious resort in the Mayan Riviera where they help spouses deal with their marriage struggles.

Johanna and Ben’s relationship looks great on the surface, but in reality, they don’t know each other at all. Shell and Colin fight constantly—Colin is a workaholic, and Shell always comes second—but what has really torn them apart is too devastating to talk about. When both couples begin Harmony’s intensive therapy program, it becomes clear that Harmony is not all that it seems—and neither are Miles and Grace. What are they hiding, and what price will these couples pay for finding out their secrets?

As a deadly tropical storm descends on the coast, trapping the hosts and the guests on the resort, secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested and not one single person—or their marriage—will remain unchanged by what follows.

A gripping exploration of relationships and trust, The Last Resort is a propulsive read about all the big truths we hide, even from ourselves.

I found this to be a show moving, winning type of story telling that puts me to sleep.

Story is not my cup of!

I'm not done the book and I'm excited to keep going, but I personally was really startled and upset by a scene around chapter 7. If you're a lesbian or any kind of LGBT+, expect some upsetting POV of conversion therapy and homophobia, as well as two lesbians in compulsory heterosexual relationships. I really hope that these characters get acceptance and happiness and that's why I'm still listening, but I was close to stopping. A warning would have been nice so I figured I'd pay it forward. Stars in rating aren't reflective of my overall thoughts.

The voice of Miles was awful. I liked the concept but it was not easy to follow.

Trigger warning for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors.
This story starts out at the end result and works its way back to unfold how it happened. I liked the ending but I felt that the plot was a little predictable. It was an interesting read for sure but didn’t leave me on the edge of my seat.
