Girls' Night Out
by Lisa Steinke, Liz Fenton
In reading the summary, the play out of the story line was seemingly predictable, but I thought I would give it a try. There were a few twists that the story took that were not so obvious, but overall it was just that. Knowing this going in and expecting for a good read made this three stars for me.
The writing is good, the idea of the story is good, it is all good. I enjoyed the book overall, just wasn't super excited about it.
Three friends get together for a re-bonding after a year off from their friendship. They travel to a beautiful resort in Mexico in the hopes of reconnecting and forgetting and forgiving the past. Lauren, who lost her husband just a year before - exactly when the friendship deteriorated and Ashley and Natalie who work side-by-side in a joint business ownership all meet with the outward appearance of letting bygones be bygones but inside all very nervous and doubtful.
What starts as an awkwardly fun night, turns into a very stressful few days as Marco, a local and admirer of Ashley's, infiltrates the group at every possible moment. Ashley swears it's as the guide to many adventures, but Natalie and Lauren feel it's not like that at all. Once Ashley goes missing and the need to involve the Police occurs, Marco is nowhere to be found so Natalie becomes the prime suspect as she was the last one to see Ashley alive.
Stuck in Mexico searching for your long-time friend, while dealing with feelings of guilt, anger, loss and sadness combine into an end to the trip that is in no way the life-saving adventure they were all hoping to take.
