i found it really interesting reading about the different characters and friendships, and i absolutely loved the greek atmosphere in the book, but i did find the plot a bit predictable, and certain bits were a bit too anti-climatic

If you’re looking for a summer thriller, you’ve found it!

B̷R̷I̷N̷G̷ ✨ 𝗕𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗢𝗪 ✨ B̷Y̷P̷A̷S̷S̷

One of my favorite things about reading thrillers is how much a 3 star “liked it” book is a perfectly lovely and fun and wonderful way to pass the time, especially during the summer.

I love thrillers with short chapters and multiple POVs where everyone has something to hide, and this fit the bill so well! I especially love when I’m genuinely surprised by things and this one got me a couple times so honestly it’s a win!

 I've recently felt like maybe I'm burnt out of thrillers, but this one caught me by surprise. It was twisty in the right places without being ridiculous or dragging. The characters felt well-developed, which often falls to the wayside in these kinds of stories. I just had a lot of fun with the plot. There was lots that I saw coming but other parts took me totally by surprise, which was a lot of fun!

I've probably read way too many thrillers in the past few years, but it's still a go-to genre for me, so it's always fun to find a good one!

Lucy Clarke…. She’s quickly becoming one of my fav thriller authors. Just.. wow! I admit she’s excellent in creating red herrings! And though I guessed one mystery right very quickly, I missed so many others and was audibly gasping and talking to the book towards the end! It’s such a fantastic read and I highly recommend it! Also, always remember the third and most important rule: what happens at the hen party, stays there! 🤐🤐

Not really my taste: Liane Moriarty-esque but a little ham-fisted.
