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!

Ah! Where do I begin. Aside from the joy and convenience the kobo has brought into my life, this book was a treat. I thought it was really well written for a escapist thriller and murder mystery, with thorough world-building and character development. Each character distinct, alive and believable.
The vibes were 🧚♀️immaculate🧚♀️. My favourite were the food descriptions and Eleanor’s breakfast preps every morning. My favourite chapters were Robyn and Eleanor’s and my least favourite was Lexi’s. Ana and Fen’s chapters were the hardest to read. The irony of not caring too much about the bride’s story when the entire mystery happens during a hen weekend.
As the book progressed, it became harder to get through simply because I didn’t one any of them to be the person found dead. Perhaps because I devoured the book, but I had grown to liking them, which rarely happens to me in thrillers.
Overall, a great read! I wish I read this on holiday. Would’ve been a great plane/airport read. But an off-day reading sprint isn’t too shabby either.
Knocked off a star for the predictable ending; though it did make me teary-eyed!
