Ashley plans a trip with her best friends Natalie and Lauren to try and heal the rifts that have been hurting them. Ashley and Natalie run a famous company BloMe (you can't help but love that) and Revlon wants to buy them out. Natalie needs it but Ashley does not want to sell. Lauren and Ashley have been at odds since Lauren's husband died suddenly and something happens at the funeral (no spoilers) to make their friendship very strained.
Then on the girls last night in Mexico, Natalie wakes up on the beach, soaking wet, fully dressed, with no idea how she got there. When she returns back to the room she shares with Ashley, there is no sign of her and the story takes off.
I was reeled in from the first page! I loved how the story went back and forth in time so we truly understood what was happening in their lives and their friendship. Ashley was a tough one for me. I can't say I liked her very much but I understand why she was written the way she was. I was so invested in what actually happened to her that I read late into the night. Thanks to Liz and Lisa for yet another amazing suspense that makes you read way into the night.

This story is told from the point of view of all 3 friends, Lauren, Ashley, and Natalie. The story slowly reveals each of the women's secrets and insecurities as it unravels the mystery of what happened in Mexico.
Girls Night Out is a good mystery and an excellent story about friendship. Thanks to Netgalley and Lake Union publishers for this advanced copy. The opinions are my own.

I won a copy of this book for an honest review.
I really liked it!! I went to Tulum a few years ago on a girls trip so it felt familiar to me as it described many areas such as the cantinas and the cenotes...which made the story even more so haunting... the idea you could just go away on vacation and never return. I disliked most of the characters and didn’t really find that they had any redeeming qualities, but I was intrigued by the story— friendships that evolve over time, marriages that crumble, the idea that running away and starting over can help you escape your problems-when really there is never an escape from the prison of your mind.
I liked this story very much and could not stop reading once I started.
Thank you for the copy of the book!! And well done!

Girls Night Out
Liz and Lisa literally could not of captured women and the way we argue , fight and makeup in any better way than they did in this book. I believe when they wrote this book they pulled from there own lives and just ad libbed. Some of the girls comebacks or grudges were way to real.
Ashely , Natalie and Lauren have been friends for 20 + years. Ashley and Natalie invented a revolutionary way to style hair while drying it, and became rich from it. Lauren , a widow , is living off her husbands life insurance and is lost in life. Revlon has come to town with a big offer and Natalie wants to sell. Fast. Ashley doesn’t. This has caused some very tense times for the duo as well as Lauren retreating from the two. They decide to take a vacation to Tulum, to work on there friendship and spend time together. The trip starts off bad and just goes downhill as each day passes.
Not only is this a kickass book, but it sends a message.
A friend is someone that matches with your principles and provides you with wisdom, honesty and loyalty in order to make you a better person. Friendship is a two way relationship.
An acquaintance is someone you see possibly everyday at school or work or maybe you see every now and then through common activity.
You don’t know each other’s family , secrets or lives outside of the aquatinted activities.
Don’t confuse the two.
I loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars from me

This book really had the potential to be great but it fell flat. By no means was the writing bad, but the characters themselves were really irritating and it was difficult to like any of them and the answer to what happened to Ashley wasn’t as fulfilling as I’d have liked it to be.
Sadly, it was a bit of a let down.

Wow! This was an innocent girls' night out that went totally wrong! Three good friends take a trip to get away and reconnect with each other again. Things have not been good between the three for awhile. A trip to a beautiful place in Mexico will fix all that, right? Wrong!
Ashley disappears during their girls' night out and Natalie or Lauren have no idea where she might be, or who she might be with. As they try to put the pieces together, we learn about the rifts between the three friends as they start uncovering the lies of their lives. They realize they have to put their difference aside to make sure Ashley is safe.
Girls' Night Out was a story that grabbed me from the start, because the reader knows from the get-go that something has happened to one of the girls. That was a good ploy on the authors'parts—so many questions needed to be answered right from the start. The story then goes from the present to the past, alternating between the two, as parts of the story are revealed like clues to solve the mystery and to explain the women's past relationships.
This book was a pager-turner that kept me guessing until the very end. I was as concerned about Ashley as her two friends were. Liz and Lisa definitely have another hit on their hands.
I'm continually amazed at the ability of two people to write such fascinating novels together so seamlessly that the reader doesn't realize that there are two 'voices' contributing to the story. Great job, gals!!

This is the story of friendship. It discusses what happens overtime to long term friends; petty arguments, jealousies, and resentment. Will these friends ever repair the damage that exists between each of them? Can a trip to Mexico save them? I enjoyed the overall message of this book, but the delivery was long winded. Towards the ending I just stopped caring about these girls and didn’t care if they reached a resolution. I wanted to love this book, but I just couldn’t. There were some parts I liked but not enough to keep me interested. Thank you NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.
I’ve never hate-read a book before. It showed promise, initially, but then these three highly unlikeable characters just repeat the same things over and over for 250 more pages. Seriously, this book is over 300 pages. How?
The very derisive attitude towards everything Mexico (except the booze at tourist resorts) was also obnoxious. I thought initially it was ironic, but it was repeated so. much. And by so many characters it seems the authors wanted to reinforce the idea that “Mexico is bad. Mexico is slow. Mexico is corrupt.” By beating us over the head with it chapter after chapter. Pretty tone deaf in this day & age.
If you care about depth, plot, dialogue, authentic characters, and good writing, do not pick up this book. Or do, and hate-read it like I did.

This story follows three friends - Ashley, Natalie, and Lauren - who are on a trip to Mexico to try and repair their relationships. After one of the women goes missing, those remaining must piece together the night to figure out what happened.
This book is told in alternating points of view. It also jumps around in time - looking at the time leading up to the disappearance, the night of the disappearance, and after the disappearance. I enjoyed this format because it allows readers to learn details about each character and their perspective on the friendships. This format also lead to some of the suspense as readers pieced together what happened.
Each character, Ashley especially, had some very unlikeable qualities. I went back and forth through the book trying to decide how I felt about them. There were many behaviors and events that made me feel very frustrated for these friends; wishing they would just say exactly what they felt in order to resolve their problems.
At the core, this book is about friendship. It looks at how time, life events and business partnerships have an impact on them. This book also examines at what happens when people believe long-term friendships can withstand anything just because they've been around for so long.
