She Started It by Sian Gilbert
5.0

This was incredible & by far is one of my best reads of 2024 so far! So unique from any of my recent reads, too. Centered around a bachelorette trip on a private island and stuffed full of extremely unlikable characters, past & present drama, & a heartbreaking story at the root of it all.

I love that it felt fresh while also not containing too outlandish of a plot. Psychological thrillers can tend to get repetitive & I feel like some authors scramble to surprise their audience. We don’t necessarily need to be surprised, just engaged, which this book succeeded at from page 1.

This was such a good, twisty summer read. Highly recommend!
