medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No

 
I’ve been to quite a few bachelorette parties, but nothing like this…

 We have dual timeline’s, the first follows friends Tilly, Anna, Linnea and Evelina ten years ago who travel to this remote island every year to reconnect and have some fun. Then we follow the present timeline with Tessa and her group of friends who happen to travel to the same remote island for a bachelorette party. Things seem to be going well, it is your typical bachelorette shenanigans until someone is found dead and then things start to unravel.

I liked this, it gets a little slow around the 20-40% mark, but then it speeds up a bit when someone dies and the story picks up. I didn’t mind the dual timeline, but there were a lot of characters so sometimes I had trouble figuring out who everyone was. I thought Tessa’s backstory was interesting, but I didn’t really see how that fit into the story.  I never read anything from this author and I would read from her again.
