I support women’s rights, but I also support women’s wrongs ✋🏻 I really enjoyed this audiobook. I got hooked in pretty quick, and gasped out loud a few times at the plot twists. It was entertaining and well-performed.

This is a pretty dark book with lots of potentially triggering topics, especially death, grief, and abusive or toxic relationships. Disturbing events are rarely described in detail, but would definitely advise browsing content warnings and using caution if sensitive to any topics.

The Guest List by Lucy Foley follows multiple points of view across a two-day period. I love a good split POV and this one was split way more than other books I’ve read lately.

However, it was too overhyped. I went in with seriously high expectations and I was let down throughout most of the book until the twists came in (hence the three stars).

Speaking of the twists, I didn’t see them coming at all! This rarely happens (at least with the books I tend to read) so it was nice to be thrown a curveball. Although, from the reviews I had previously read about this book I was expecting there to be some unforeseen happenings.

As for the characters, I couldn’t stand any of them except Hannah which I guess was the point. But, I have to say, this did almost put me off at the beginning but I persevered and I’m relatively glad I did.

Overall, great unexpected twists, good writing style, unloveable characters (aside from Hannah), and a standard ending.
