The Last One at the Wedding by Jason Rekulak
4.0

I enjoyed this one. It was quite the departure from Hidden Pictures but I wasn't mad about it. Part family drama, part mystery, part psychological thriller. I was entertained the whole way through and I did not predict any of the many twists and turns. I thought it was really well done.

It follows a father who is recently estranged from his daughter but then finds himself invited to her wedding - which turns out to be nothing like he expected.

The character development was my favorite part. I loved Aunt Tammy and little Abigail, who had me laughing. I loved the big bad Gardner family who was clearly taken from a page out of the Elon Musk family album. I even loved the dad, whose morality was constantly called into question and contrasted with his unconditional love of his daughter. I found myself asking internally what I would do in his situations. What would I do in the daughter's situation? Or even the Aunt's. It was thought provoking and fun.

I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys family drama, billionaire romance, and thrillers with a psychological element.
