The premise of
Beautiful Animals by Lawrence Osborne sounds like the fixings for a perfect beach read. Imagine it's summertime in Greece, two American girls, Naomi and Sam, recently befriend one another and go on a yacht outing one day when they happen to come across a Syrian refugee named
Faroud who has washed ashore. In their attempt to help him, the two young women become victims of their own privilege.
It was a slow moving story for me and didn't fully draw me in, mostly because I found none of the characters truly likeable. Two stars for the dreamy descriptions of the Greek Island though.
