Welcome to Wherever You Are/The Vacation
How far would you run to escape your past?
For eight strangers in a Los Angeles backpacking hostel, even the other side of the world isn’t far enough.
The craving for a new identity and the chance to start again is something they have in common. But the search for a fresh start isn't as easy as they'd imagined.
And they soon discover that it doesn't matter where you are or who you are - if you can't lay the past to rest, coincidence, fate and deception have a way of catching up with you when you least expect it.
Re-edited and released as “The Vacation “.

John Marrs
John Marrs is the British author whose books grip readers by the throat and never let go. Known for his psychological thrillers and speculative fiction, he explores the unpredictable intersection of technology, ethics, and the human psyche. His narratives are populated by flawed characters navigating the dangerous waters of modern life, with the technology meant to serve us often becoming our greatest adversary.
Before finding his voice as a novelist, Marrs spent over two decades as a freelance journalist, writing for prominent publications like The Guardian, Empire, and HuffPost. This experience in storytelling—where every word counts and every detail matters—shaped his tight, suspenseful prose that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. His debut novel, When You Disappeared (originally The Wronged Sons), laid the foundation for his later work, setting the stage for the twist-filled narratives that have become his signature.

Reviews and Comments
I enjoyed the book. While not a traditional thriller, it was suspenseful and held my interest the entire book. There were many characters but the author did a great job developing each and had no trouble keeping track of the various stories. I really liked how the author intertwined the character stories, all of them with many unexpected twists.
