Read: The guest list by Lucy Foley 🇺🇸

 

A posh wedding celebration on a very remote island - good idea or a looming catastrophe?

Jules is a very successful publisher, her magazine “the download” ist doing amazingly.

Her finance Will is a handsome survival show protagonist 

Among the guests: Jules’ mother, her half-sister, her father with his very young second wife.

Will’s boarding school friends, his father, the former headmaster of the school.

Charly, Jules best friend, and his plus one, his wife Hannah.

Of course, everyone has to hide something. Some pretend to be more (successful, rich, happy) then they are, others don’t think this wedding is a good idea at all.

For Aoife, the wedding planner and owner of the island’s guest house, it’s very important that this wedding is a success.  She gave Jules and Will a big discount to hold the celebration on the remote island, and her future depends on follow up bookings.

And then, there is blood.

This book is told out of the perspective of different people from the wedding party, and, an top, not in chronological order, what is sometimes quite confusing.

It’s clear from the beginning that there is a lot going on behind the perfect surface, and that drama is prone to happen.

I liked this book well enough, and i thought the plot was good, but it ended super abruptly, what I found dissatisfactory.
