“Speak your truth.” An icebreaker leads to unintended consequences for two strangers aboard a luxury yacht in this seductively twisty short story by the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister. When Ella boards a sumptuous charter off the coast of Australia, she feels…dread. Her husband, Mac, the social butterfly who makes these wellness retreats so much easier to navigate, is stuck at work, leaving her exposed to the other passengers. Luckily, she forms an instant bond with the charismatic Chloe, a newly single woman salving a broken heart. But as the friendship grows, Ella discovers they share more than the need for an escape, and their devastating connection has the power to forever alter their lives. Uncharted Waters by Sally Hepworth is part of Getaway, a collection of six stories about dream escapes that take unimaginable, even sinister, turns. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single sitting.

I didn't like it. Was it trying to be a suspense? A romance? I didn't find either Elle or Chloe sympathetic, their connection was entirely unbelievable, the twist obvious, and the ending disappointing and totally flat. Best I can say is since it's short the audiobook makes decent background to listen to when doing a round of chores. I'll try the others in the collection in the hopes I like those story lines more.
