Another one I enjoyed more than I thought I was going to. I feel like I was reading one of those bridezilla Reddit post with how this unfolded. I love the ending maybe just a little ambiguous but brilliantly executed 🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽

I recommend listening to the audio with this one too, some of the Irish accent sounds really good to listen to, some, not so much. I feel like listening to the audio is a great way to get very immersed into the store and catch the cadence and vibes of things.

This was fine. Farrr too many perspectives to be good. Jules, Aoife, Hannah, Olivia, Will, and Johnno all speak. The characters were all written the exact same. The only person I knew I was reading while I read was Johnno. Everyone else I had to check because they all spoke the same. And at the end I’m like… what even happened? A whole Murder took place and I’m just like… bleh. There was some really cool characters and back stories and the build up was good. But too many characters who sound the same and small time jumps all over kept me too confused to be completely engrossed in the story.

Almost dnfed it after the first chapter in which the wedding planner says “I wonder if they know each others dark secrets” lol who even writes lines like that? BUT I persevered and it really wasn’t that bad in the end! It clearly wants to be very psychological and is not subtle about it, but I read it really fast and was somewhat invested in the mystery.
