3.0

I actually did like this book - it has a great premise (bachelorette party on isolated island in the Bahamas, secrets come out, people start dying) and is an easy read — perfect for summer. Would have given 4 stars but I felt that there were too many POVs (one for each of the four mean girls). Three of the four voices were too similar and half the time I went “wait, who is the narrator right now?” I could see this book becoming a really fun movie with a potential sequel. Liked the big twist even though I figured it out early.

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. Entertaining "Mean Girls" type of book. Several small twists. Worth a read.

I was in the need for a popcorn thriller and this delivered but I feel like if you can guess the plot twist 20% into a mystery, that’s really not a mystery

3.5 stars rounded up. Even though the twists were predictable, I still enjoyed seeing how they all played out. Please be mindful of content warnings for this one as it deals with some very heavy and dark subjects.

I started this book the first couple chapters i already KNEWWWWW the revenge story was about to be epic!! There is no way the 4 main characters anabell, tanya, chloe &esther would be invited to an all inclusive paid trip go somebody(poppy) they bullied sooooo badly from grade school to high school and havent heard from her for 10 years.


But the PLOT TWIST AT THEEE END WAS SO UNEXPECTED OF WHO IT IS I was sad to hear the gruesome story of how it went down hill for poppy but t he plot twist is crazy i hope a sequel is brought about addressing Mr. Ollie thomas
