This is “Anxious People” where you don’t really like the characters (besides a few). It was a fun read and the way it was laid out made it enjoyable.

3.25/5⭐️ 
This book was solidly boring and unentertaining for the entirety of the first 2/3 of the book. If it wasn't for my book club, I probably would have never finished it. The multiple POVs and the constant switch between the day before the wedding and the night of the wedding were pretty confusing. 

The twists and turns in the last 3rd of the book drew me in quickly, and honestly I had no idea who was the murderer until I read it. I kinda figured that Will must have been the person who died, since more people seemed to have something against him than others. 

The way that each character then was connected to Will & somehow had a reason to murder him, seems like something I should have seen coming but was so uninterested in the beginning that I must have just not been paying attention enough. 

Also, this group is messy.
