3.5-4⭐
This book was better than what I expected but I also have a couple issues with it. I feel like a couple things didn't add up but I honestly could have just missed something (I've got pregnancy brain).
I generally don't like so many view points BUT in this case I did because everyone was so different, personality wise, and had such drastically different backgrounds so it was really interesting to learn about everyone.
And lastly, the ending was definitely satisfying, in my opinion. :)
Thank you Netgalley and G.P. Putnam's Sons for an ARC. All opinions are mine and mine alone.

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I hate to say it, but One of the Girls was a total letdown for me. I thought that the premise sounded super fun and intriguing (who doesn't love a twisty bachelorette murder party in Greece?), but it didn't actually even pan out in the way it was teased.
The story is told from alternating POVs of the six women attending the "hen weekend," and it flows well enough, but the details unfold SO slowly. Painfully slowly.
I found most of the characters to be really shallow, and I didn't actually LIKE any of them let alone feel like I could connect with them. When their big secrets are finally revealed, they feel very forced and anticlimactic. It was all a big mix of "Meh" and "Really?" with a little bit of "All that build-up just for this?" thrown in.
It just missed the mark for me.
