This book was nothing special. It was forgettable. More of a romance than a thriller, which turned me from enjoying it. The FMC was relatable, but the story and plot twist wasn’t realistic.
I was able to figure out most of the plot twists. I did get fooled once, which increased my rating from a 2 star to a 3 stars, but it’s honestly generous. I’m beginning to think these books and this author just aren’t my cup of tea.
If you’re a new reader getting their feet wet with thrillers, I’d say her writing and books might be for you.

Not what I imagined
I thought I guessed what was happening, but I didn’t. This was quite different. It was good, w the ending left me wanting more

She never seems to amaze me. I though for a second I was in the middle of an orgy. LOL. This had a couple of jaw dropping moments and had you constantly guessing who did it and if someone did, why!?!

Just like every other Kiersten book, I devoured this in one sitting.
I automatically clear my calendar whenever Kmod releases a new book because I know it will be as addicting as her last.
This thriller was so different but in the best way. I never expected a thriller to give me all the feels. Not sad or happy feels because I don’t do happy or sad books because my black heart enjoys violence.
Usually the twist leaves me shook and this one was no different except the fact that I was more in AWE of this twist. Awe in the way of the twist being surprising, layered, and oddly satisfying.
Each chapter swaps between current day and the past. You have to map together the pieces trying to figure out what happened. Excellent book.
I loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was okay. Not my favorite Modglin book but it was a decent story.

3.25⭐ for the audiobook
Featuring ~ single 1st person POV, dual timeline, death of fiancé, secrets
Our main characters are:
Colbie ~ surviving fiance
Phil ~ deceased fiance
James ~ Colbie's BFF
Eric ~ Phil's BFF
Miles ~ a close friend
One year after the wedding day death of Phil, Colbie goes away for the weekend with James, Eric and Miles in order to open letters written to the bride and groom. There's one letter in there that opens up a whole can of worms.
I did like the plot and the dual timeline of the present and a year before on the wedding day. I wouldn't say it was super suspenseful, but it kept me intrigued and patiently waiting to know how Phil died and what his secret was. The secret was on the meh side for me. For the most part I didn't really mind any of the main characters. I hated the characters I was supposed to ~ Phil's parents and Colbie's sister. I was surprised about the ending, not the death part but the end end, and I'm not sure I liked it.
Narrated by Subhadra Newton for 6 hours on the dot, easy to follow at 2x. She did a lovely job and I didn't mind her male voices.

Colbie’s husband-to-be, Phil, died on their wedding day. Now, one year later, Colbie and her three friends James, Eric, and Miles are on a trip together. While on the trip, Colbie opens a box of letters meant for the bride and groom to open on their anniversary. Surprise! There is one from Phil. The letter says if she is reading it, then he must be dead. Was there more to his death than she originally thought? Did someone murder Phil?
I am a fan of Kiersten Modglin, but this one was much different from her other books. The plot kept me hooked and intrigued, but there weren’t the shocking twists and turns that I’ve come to expect with a Kiersten Modglin book. I found the ending of this one really anticlimactic and not spectacular like a usual Modglin book. Overall, I would give it 3.5/5 stars because I did enjoy the plot up until the ending.
