DID NOT FINISH

Dnf at 20 pages

Spoiler3.5 stars. It was a fun short read. I enjoyed Aoiffe being the killer but I wish Will suffered a bit more. It seems like death was the easy way out, and poor Johnno.
dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

Really good and had me hooked the whole time! The ending tied things up nicely, but almost too nicely.

I liked it, but I didn’t love it. It was good though, but it felt like a never ending wedding and some of the characters were just insufferable. And the ending left me wanting. I didn’t feel closure at the end and I just felt like a lot was missing. 

Jules, complete perfectionist bridezille is planning her wedding to Will. Will, who is most definitely a narcissist, but is just so charming that nobody notices. Jules likes to be a trendsetter so she plans her wedding on an island in the middle of nowhere, that nobody has heard of. With barely any cell reception too. Yeah, already sounds like a horror movie in the making. 

The povs go back and forth between the wedding night and events leading up to it. There are A LOT of povs, so you really have to pay attention to understand what’s going on. The story itself was really good and the twists were insane. I would recommend this one if you love thrillers and are okay with minimal closure at the end of a book.
