Quick & entertaining. A lot of drama, too much to be believable, but don't think too hard & just accept the over the top nature of this closed room mystery.
The writing is a little *too* crafted and sounds stilted in the characters' mouths- almost as if a parody of the traditional whodunnit. Also a lot of references to millenial culture as well as books that seem to stand out like sore thumbs.
⤏ LOCKED-ROOM MYSTERY
⤏ REUNION OF GIRLFRIENDS
⤏ MIXED WITH SOME ROHYPNOL
⤏ DRAMA, JEALOUSIES & BLOOD ON THE WALL
⤏ SAN JUAN ISLANDS SETTING...BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE IT
I found most of the characters easily relatable, and while I thought some of the drama was over the top from some of them...overall I found The Girls Weekend to be an entertaining listen/read. The perfect escape while you're doing something mind-numbingly boring.
Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. Lifelong friends get together for a weekend away to catch up with each other. Soon enough the weekend away starts turning into a nightmare and the people you thought were your lifelong friends are now people you are beginning to suspect you never really knew what they could be capable of. How well do any of us really know our lifelong friends? An atmospheric thriller.
This was a fun thriller where everyone has a motive to kill! Out in June!
