One Perfect Couple

by Ruth Ware

One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware is a pageturner set on an island in Indonesia, where contestants from the UK have been brought to vie for the title of ‘perfect couple’ in a reality TV show. Ruth Ware is great at writing thrillers where you feel like you’re there, participating in the experience alongside the main protagonist. In One Perfect Couple, her name is Lyla, a researcher on viruses, and you can’t help but feel for her and her choices as she agrees to go in for the toe-curling reality TV format to support her actor boyfriend.
