When the action picked up, I felt like I had drank too many espressos! My heart was actually racing!
I ended up staying up late to finish it, I just couldn’t put it down!
I wish I could give it 5 stars, because it really did what a thriller should towards the end! And the portrayal of all the different phases and challenges of womanhood and motherhood came through so strongly.
But I did find it really quite difficult at the start, so with that as the only con, 4.5 stars.

One of my favorite things about reading thrillers is how much a 3 star “liked it” book is a perfectly lovely and fun and wonderful way to pass the time, especially during the summer.
I love thrillers with short chapters and multiple POVs where everyone has something to hide, and this fit the bill so well! I especially love when I’m genuinely surprised by things and this one got me a couple times so honestly it’s a win!

move over other remote location domestic thrillers, there’s a new one in town and it’s one you don’t want to miss!!
a bachelorette party ends in murder. that’s it. that’s the synopsis. LOL all six women have something to hide from someone else, even the ones that don’t even know each other, and you just know all of those secrets are going to come out eventually. because what’s a bachelorette party without drunken confessions? oops.
first of all, I lived vicariously through this book because it is my dream to visit greece. I’ve been almost everywhere else in mainland europe but not greece and it sounds so beautiful. can I be invited to the bachelorette? pls
I have to say, while I predicated the death at the end, I did NOT see half of the plot twists and secrets coming. it was a wonderful surprise to turn the page and see the newest POV ready to reveal something to the reader. which brings me to my next point -
we got a POV from every single one of the six ladies which makes me so happy!!! nothing I love more than conflicting POVs and thoughts to keep me confused!!
I definitely would recommend this thriller to anyone who loves lucy foley, megan miranda & alice feeney. I flew through this one so much, I was reading it any chance I could get!!!
thank you to netgalley and penguin house for the arc in exchange for an honest review. june ‘22 cannot come soon enough!!!!
