My own guest list (for a near-perfect story):
1. characters to sympathize with
2. characters to hate
3. a good irish storm to set the mood
4. wedding drama
5. family secrets
6. multiple mysteries entangled into each other
7. a small amount of spice and scandal
8. a timeline and flashbacks that are easy as pie (or wedding cake?) to follow
Check out the content warnings before picking this one up but definitely give it a chance

Minor: Classism and Pregnancy
While there’s not exactly an adult/minor relationship, there is a much older man involved in a sexual relationship with a 19-year-old girl, which is close enough and still has much of the same power dynamic, which could be really triggering for someone who finds adult/minor relationships triggering. The content warning for sexual violence is in relation to revenge porn and the threat of publishing revenge pornskudiklier's review against another edition

for the majority of this book i was under the impression that The Guest List was published before The Hunting Party, which made a lot of sense because The Hunting Party felt like a more polished execution of a similar concept. actually, The Guest List came _after_ The Hunting Party. and knowing that her most recent book is The Paris Apartment… 😬
