I liked the nature elements in this, I liked Ellery as a main character, and all the different elements were super interesting but in the end I was still questioning the relevance of a lot of items and didn't find that I had all the answers to all my questions

THanks to net galley, the author and the publisher for the ARC

What was supposed to be Ellery’s 20th anniversary trip turned into a solo trip to a luxury resort in Big Sur where a wedding was to be happening during her stay, only it never takes place. When Ellery discovers the groom floating face down in the pool and a storm causes a mudslide trapping them at the resort, Ellery soon begins to realize that this trip might not have been worth it.

I liked the short chapters and Ellery; she certainly stepped out of her comfort zone taking this solo trip but she proved herself to be extremely observant with everything happening around her.

Thank you @grandcentralpub for this gifted ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Ellery’s heart is still broken by divorce when she goes on a weekend escape to a high-end eco-resort near Big Sur where she encounters murder and intrigue, art and unexpected weather, and a host of unlikely situations and characters, all of which she resolves while being nearly murdered. I’ll say no more.

The Unwedding by Ally Condie is a twisty thriller you won't want to stop reading. Like most thrillers, it's hard to say much about the plot without giving things away, so I won't. But they are stuck at a resort after a landslide with a body. The main POV is amazing, and I can relate to the character immensely. The narrator in this one is perfection. If you're looking for a summer thriller while taking a trip, preorder this one. It's coming June 4th.
