Girls' Night Out by Lisa Steinke, Liz Fenton

3.0

---

This is the story of three women whose friendships have become strained and decide the way to salvage them is to take a week's trip to Tulum, Mexico. On the last night, one of the women disappears. Each woman has her own individual motivations for the week away and this adds to the mystery and what is basically a really good story. The story follows two timelines, after the disappearance and the trip leading up to the disappearance. Point of view flips between the three women. This is where I started to struggle with the book. It felt very repetitive because conversations were repeated and the same issues were gone over again and again. If they weren't actually repeated pretty much verbatim, it felt like it. And isn't that what matters? Does the reader feel like rolling their eyes thinking "yes, yes, we know already. let's move along now"? I felt that way at times. But hidden amidst all this was a really good story.

A copy of this book was provided by NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
