This was an underwhelming read for me. The premise was good, but I just couldn't stand Orla. I found it to be slow going until the last 30% or so, but even then, all the action & drama couldn't make me care.

Thanks to Avon Books & NetGalley for the DRC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Orla and Kate go on a girly weekend trip to Lisbon with Orla leaving her husband and baby at home. Whilst away the go out for a meal and then onto a club., where they meet 2 men who Kate asks back to their apartment. When Orla wakes up the next morning to find that she can’t remember much about the night before and Kate missing she is terrified. She attempts to find out what happened to Kate and contacts the police. Orla starts finding out some things about Kate that she doesn’t want to believe. The police then find a body in the river, will they find out what happened to Kate or will Orla be charged with her murder.

A great book of twists and turns, thought I figured out what happened and then sometime else would come me to light . Keep me hooked from page 1.

Under all the diet culture and fatphobic comments the story was exciting.
