lrjohnson13 's review for:
The Party Guest
by Amanda Robson
Note: I received an advanced copy of this book from Avon Books UK via NetGalley.
2.5 Stars
Ralph is turning 45, and the only gift he wants this year is his ex-wife.
Gemma, his trophy girlfriend, is trying to ignore this.
Sarah, the ex-wife, has agreed to attend Ralph’s birthday party, but with her new man in tow.
And Jack, Sarah’s partner, is keen to accompany Sarah to keep an eye on the proceedings.
It’s a birthday trip like no other. The whole extended family in a villa on the beautiful Amalfi coast. But under the politely strained surface, every party guest harbours their own agenda.
By the end of the trip, two people will be dead. But while Ralph unwraps his presents, will anybody be able to unwrap the truth…?
The concept of this story and description are what really intrigued me to want to read this book, however, for me as a reader this plot fell flat. The characters were all unlikable and I thought the story itself was just weird. It did not flow nicely and was patchy.
