wow. i truly sat for a few minutes just saying wow.
this book — the latter half — was amazing. the cliffhangers were spectacular, so difficult to put down, and really kept you so engaged and invested.
the first 25% are very slow, the only reason it was docked a quarter of a star, but it picks up from there and is addicting.
i could not keep my nose out of this book and i highly, HIGHLY recommend. especially as a binge read.
will most definitely be looking into more lucy foley books after this one.

i also would’ve liked to have found out who the married people were in the newly wed’s bedroom was, but that’s neither here nor there

Sometimes I wish that my husband and I had the opportunity to have a larger wedding (c*19 wedding couple over here), and then I read books like this and think "uh, yeah, we're probably fine"

As always, super hard to review thriller books without giving way too much away, but this one was wild! Super atmospheric, super twisty & dark & gritty, and in a very weird way super fun? Fun is really not the right word here. Trainwreck you can't look away from? Maybe that's it.

There were a couple of twists that I didn't see coming - one of which felt a *little* too neat - and I think it wrapped itself up in a really neat bow, although it's kind of hard to say that it was a "good" ending, because pretty much everyone's life had been completely upturned. But hey, them's the breaks? I guess?

This is my 2nd Lucy Foley and I can definitively say that I preferred this one over The Paris Apartment - also, it kind of gave me Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney vibes? I don't necessarily mean that if you liked DD you'd love this one, or if you hated DD you'd hate this one. Just that I got vibes. That's all I got.
