Talk about WHIPLASH!!! My heart rate is like 220 after reading this page turner. The book builds up the suspense until about 65% through and then comes the big reveal. But is it??? At this point you have to finish the book no matter what time it is. Back & forth, back & forth until FINALLY it starts making sense and adding up and boy is it juicyyy. The last 20% of this book was MIND BLOWING 🤯 So many twists and turns all well thought out and intense. Huge fan. Loved every minute of this book and couldn’t put it down. 

ALSO THE EPILOGUE??? I dont know what to think anymore. But man do I love it.

While this book was entertaining enough, I just did not find it interesting. I didn't really care about the characters and there wasn't much going on except that one character was always worrying about some things she was assuming. I played it through fast so I wouldn't have to listen to it next week too!

Wow, this was so bad. The last time I gave a one star rating was in August of 2021 and I actually think this book was worst. It follows three couples in the days leading up to and the day of a destination wedding in Portugal. It promises romance and scandal. What it actually delivers is inane conversation and absolutely no surprises.

This one was hard for me to finish and I think it was because it was just so similar to a lot of books that I've read recently. It follows a group of friends/couples on a destination wedding weekend. And out of those three couples pasts come secrets and lies that end up causing drama. I wouldn't call it a thriller so much as a domestic drama. For me it was too slow paced and just wasn't a hit.

The fact that this book is listed as thriller/ mystery is ridiculous.  95% of the book is just wondering who is having an affair.  If you like books about cheating and messed up relationships then you will like it.  If you’re looking for a thriller or mystery then I would pass on this.
