The Long Weekend by Gilly Macmillan
4.0
Do you like twisty thrillers from the perspectives of multiple unreliable narrators? Yes? Say no more. Go read this.
I LOVED THIS BOOK. The vacation rental is a perfect eerie setting to begin with, and all the while we get a sprinkling of unsettling, claustrophobic peeks into what's going on back home between scenes with the wives. The stream-of-consciousness writing style was easy to read and relate to - it made the characters feel real. (Sometimes they seemed stuck in their personality boxes a bit too much, but I'm just picky like that.) There are multiple characters, but they are easy to keep track of after they are introduced because they have very defining characteristics and quirks.
Calling it now: this is going to be the start of my Gilly Macmillan rabbit hole.
