100% I was down for this book when I picked it up last night. I ended up going to sleep an hour and a half after I'd planned to because I just needed to know who died.
One of the Girls is the story of six women, all with various life histories and backgrounds who end up connected through one of them, Lexi, a woman who is about to get married. While the backgrounds weren't fleshed out as much as I normally like them to be, the back and forth of just who is killed and who did the killing kept me going until the end.
The only issue I had with this book (and this happens with books that use this style for me) were the interludes in italics. They just do nothing for me. I think the book would have been fine without them
