One of the Girls by Lucy Clarke

4.0

A hen do gone wrong is the plot of Lucy Clark’s newest thriller, one of the girls. When ex-party girl and backup dancer Lexi finally decides to settle down with Ed, her high school best friend, Bella, insists on throwing her a hen do. Luckily for the ladies, Bella’s girlfriend Fen has a family place on a Greek Island. The girls go for a long weekend, despite the bad memories that haunt Fen there. The bride, two high school best friends, the groom’s sister, the current best friend, and the girlfriend. Six women, all together on an island, and someone ends up dead. Follow along on this multiple POV story to find out who the murderer is, what secrets everyone is keeping, and why it can be so hard trying to be one of the girls. I really enjoyed this story! It was sort of similar to The Guest List in my opinion, so if you liked that one you will probably enjoy this one too. The ending was surprisingly neat and tidy, which I sort of have mixed feelings about, but I won’t say anything to keep this spoiler-free. I haven’t actually read anything else by Lucy Clark so I am excited to take a look at her backlist now. Thanks so much to Putnam and Netgalley for the early copy in exchange for my review!
