She Started It by Sian Gilbert

5.0

This book reminds me of a grown up Pretty Little Liars (although still centered on events from teenage years). A group of women are invited to a private island by the girl they used to bully in school. They all think it's weird that she's not only invited them on a free trip, but that she's also asked them to be bridesmaids in her wedding, however, they go anyway. The prologue starts off a little ominous with only one of the girls showing up covered in blood but you're able to figure out almost right away who it is when they all meet the woman who takes them to the island. So I wouldn't really consider that much of a "twist" but there is another twist that I didn't really see coming. The characters are purposely unlikable but you do end up having some sympathy for them and reading Poppy's journal entries was really emotional (trigger warning for self harm).
