I’m not quite sure what to think. 3.5? It was a good book with quick pacing that was addictive. However, the twist was kinda lacking a punch and a “wow” factor.
Normally in thrillers I never connect to characters but I think with this having 6 POVS it was easy to connect to many characters with a such a deep and developed character arc which is so interesting to me. I mean, there needs to be a thriller going on but we’re also getting strong female characters with rich back stories. Anyway bye

I LOVE Lucy Clarke, and I think her writing is incredible. She crafts characters in a really expert way. I do think this book dragged a little, like I just got sort of bored toward the end.

A group of 6 women travel to a remote villa on a Greek island for Lexi’s bachelorette party, tension builds as secrets meant to be left buried are uncovered. 

Tense a mysterious read, kept me guessing on how it would end, right up until the end. I love how Lucy created the location out of her imagination and her memories from travelling to Greece, I feel she did very well and I could almost picture the scenery. 
I liked how the story was told in multiple POV, the characters were well developed and all intriguing, although I didn’t find any of them loveable which would usually be a big mark down for me in the rating but it didn’t with this story, it kept me interested throughout.

The plot was so interesting, she wrote it intentionally to omit facts until they were revealed to other characters and I thought that was a fascinating way to keep it mysterious with such a large cast of characters.
