Prompt: FRIENDS‘ DAY

Three friends with issues to resolve take a trip to Mexico to try to reconnect.

The issues seemed to compound rather than lessen.

When one of the friends is missing the morning after a wild night of drinking, the tension between the two remaining friends continues and worsens as their fears mount.

Review:
Wow just wow!! This book was phenomenal!! A must read if you love a Mystery Thriller with a shocking ending!!

Starting Book 1 of July and Book 96 of 2020!!

I'm glad these ladies were friends with each other because I can't imagine anyone else wanting to be. I enjoyed the descriptions of the resort, town, & specific locations. I liked that we got POVs from all three MCs & I was interested to find out what happened to the missing friend. But they were all so selfish & petty that it was a struggle to care about any of them. Made me think about the nature & function of friendship.

Honestly, I really did not enjoy this book. I wanted to enjoy it, I really wanted to love it, and thought it would be a good beach read. I stuck with it and kept reading in hopes that it would get better, but it never did. #girlsnightout #notmyfavorite #wantedtoloveit #butneverlovedit #idontknowwhyicouldntloveit #kindleunlimted #bookbust

This was an enjoyable, quick listen! While I can‘t say that I particularly liked any of the characters - they were all pretty selfish - I did enjoy trying to figure out what happened to the one friend who seemed to disappear after a mysterious night out. Made my workday go by very fast! 🌟🌟🌟 1/2

Meh. As a quick brain candy read this was satisfactory. The mystery was fairly predictable although there were a few layers by the end. I found two of the three characters pretty irritating, especially Ashley. There were some weird writing quirks that bugged me, although they came and went so I wonder if the authors were alternating writing chapters. Filled 2 female authors prompt for #popsugar.

Continuing my thriller kick to try and ramp my reading back up after a little slump. Polly loves to lick my Kindle case when I'm reading with her. I try not to think about what's on it that makes it so tasty... #catsoflitsy

Waiting to pick up my fur baby from the vet. Pretty excited to see the little monster

A package arrived yesterday and I grabbed it and put it in my car. I opened it at work and instantly started reading!! Thank you!!! @hermyknee It was so sweet!

This was a super quick read about 3 friends who have had a falling out, but decide to take a trip to Mexico to see if they can fix their friendships. In the meantime, one wakes up on the beach soaking wet having no idea how she got there, and another has gone missing. I read this pretty fast, and the last few chapters were surprising. #NetGalley #GirlsNightOut

The constant characters‘ shouting at each other was irritating but otherwise, it was good.

Another one I‘m sure I already read. Must‘ve been pre-joining-Litsy.

Home with the dogs. New book. Easy read. Just what I need right now going into 2019!

This was a fast read/listen combo- a girls‘ trip gone wrong in so many ways with friendships and issues that all feel genuine! I enjoyed reading and the audio performance equally and I‘m interested to check out more from this writing duo!

I kept reading to find out what happened to Ashley on this girls‘ trip to Mexico but these three women were miserable! They were so petty and self absorbed that it was hard to believe that they were really best friends. The mystery‘s ok, the women just made it hard for me to really like this book.

A really good story..

This was an ARC review. I really enjoyed the plot. I wanted to keep reading to see if all my theories were right. (They weren't!) The only thing I didn't really like about the book were the characters. The three main characters seemed juvenile. Their dialogue read like women much younger than 40, but don't let that deter you. It's still definitely worth a read if you enjoy a good thriller and more than one POV. #Netgalley #ARC #GirlsNightOut

Quick read.

Thank you to Amazon Publishing and Lake Union Publishing for sending me a copy of Girls‘ Night Out by: Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke. I‘m so excited to get stared. So many books to read and so little time.

Today‘s book mail autographed won in contest loved their first book this one sounds tense love the blurb Girls Night Out They should of stayed in.😁

I had higher expectations for this one after The Good Widow and it just didn‘t deliver them for me 😔😣. I found it to be a slow, repetitive read. The suspense that they finally get to is good, but not quite the thriller is is made out to be for me 😒⭐️⭐️⭐️

Margaritas fix everything.

Done working! Starting this one! #amreading #currentread

What Fenton & Steinke do best is conversation. Did you not feel like you were on this trip too? Beyond the story are deeper themes of secrets, complicated relationships (at what point is a friendship obligatory?) and mystery. The brilliant aspect is the juxtaposition of complex friendships against a frantic search for a loved one. Female relationships are complex, but 3 is never an ideal number and this ratchets the tension even further.

Today‘s read! I‘m going in blind!👀 I don‘t know anything about this book🤨 Do you?! Happy Hump day Reading Littens 📚💕👍🏾

Girls' Night Out, from Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke, is dedicated to friendship. It focuses on 3 women who are facing personsl crises & trying to save their friendship . . . until 1 of them disappears during a Mexican vacation. 😳 Suspend your disbelief and enjoy this fast-paced mystery & moving story about what really matters. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #NetGalley

Ch. 1: Natalie was in a haze, somewhere between sleep & semiconsciousness, about to let herself dip back into a deep lull when she felt a breeze tickle her bare arms....She was outside. On the beach. Lying under 1 of the hotel‘s rustic cabanas...As she swung her legs over the side of the chaise, her wet dress clung to her. When she pulled at it, sand fell from the hem. She stood slowly as her head spun...She took a deep breath to get her bearings.

Excited to finally get a hold of this one! Sounds like the perfect Summer read! I have heard nothing but great things about this book! ☀️🥃

Three friends with issues to resolve take a trip to Mexico to try to reconnect, but then one goes missing.

GIRLS‘ NIGHT OUT gives wonderful reasons for friendships to repair themselves and for women to support each other, but the suspense was at the end.

The tension in the last 20% of the book definitely picked up my interest and my opinion despite the slow read.

Fenton and Steinke play a masterful game of suspense and draw readers into a web that will only unravel itself at the very end to know the real truth as to whether three women can save their friendship and ultimately their lives.

I don't get CONGRATS YOU WON! emails.. I get... You didn't win.. but you can still get it! Emails 😑

*shrugs #notawinner

I really wanted to like this book, but to me something was missing. Ashley, Lauren, and Natalie go to Mexico for a Girls trip to try to repair their friendship. But when Ashley friends with a local it doesn't set well with the two other friends. But one night the girls go out and Ashley doesn't come back. Natalie who was last seen with her can't remember anything. What happened to Ashley? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Just finished.

GIRLS‘ NIGHT OUT was suspenseful because of the missing friend, but the majority of the book was about repairing friendships and revealing secrets and dragged a bit.

The tension in the last 20% of the book definitely picked up my interest and my opinion despite the slow read until then. So instead of a 3/5, I am changing my rating to a 4/5.

Full review will be on July 24.

Have you read this book yet?

Girls' Night Out wasn't the "chilling novel of psychological suspense" it was described as at all, just a mystery, and one that unfortunately didn't grab my attention. I'm sure this will be a big beach read for summer 2018 but I'm disappointed in the predictable plot and the anticlimactic ending.
Thanks to Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I'm about 25% in to this #arc and it hasn't captured my attention like I thought it would. Hoping it picks up soon!

Day 3: #BookandBeachTowel - #ReadingResolutions 📚👙

If you haven‘t read #GirlsNightOut by #LizFenton and #LisaSteinke add it to your #TBR. It is a suspenseful thriller that I devoured quickly. The pub date is July 24th. #ARC #mustread #thriller #suspense

3.8/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️Three best friends vacation in Mexico in hopes of reconnecting and healing old wounds, but after a #girlsnightout, Ashley is missing. This book was a suspenseful, easy-read. It hooked me right away, but I found Ashley annoying, her actions a tad unrealistic, and parts of the middle of the book a bit slow. However, the suspense built up again, and I had to know what happened. The ending was satisfying and fairly realistic #arc

When you need to workout, but you would rather read... you bike because you can do both! 🤣💪📚 I would listen to an audiobook so I could run, but I only have an #arc of this one my kindle. Does any one else do this?

Here is my tentative #MayTBR for #ReadingResolutions. I doubt I will read all of these this month, but I‘m trying to be ambitious because all but two of them are #ARCs I need to review soon. I‘m most excited about #OPH for #LitsyBuddyRead, #SometimesILie, and the tagged book.

#GirlsNightOut - is a “chilling novel of psychological suspense that will make you think twice about what your best friend may be hiding…” #TBR 📚 Pub date: 7/24
