Girls Weekend
Girls Weekend | Jody Gehrman
For fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley, a riveting locked-room mystery about five college friends eager to reunite after years apart--only to be ripped apart again when their host's disappearance unearths dark secrets and old grudges. Their reunion just became a crime scene . . . June Moody, a thirty-something English professor, just wants to get away from her recent breakup and reunite with girlfriends over summer break. Her old friend and longtime nemesis, Sadie MacTavish, a mega-successful author, invites June and her college friends to a baby shower at her sprawling estate in the San Juan Islands. June is less than thrilled to spend time with Sadie--and her husband, June's former crush--but agrees to go. The party gets off to a shaky start when old grudges resurface, but when they wake the next morning, they find something worse: Sadie is missing, the house is in shambles, and bloodstains mar the staircase. None of them has any memory of the night before; they wonder if they were drugged. Everyone's a suspect. Since June had a secret rendezvous with Sadie's husband, she has plenty of reason to suspect herself. Apparently, so do the cops. A Celtic knot of suspense and surprise, this brooding, atmospheric novel will keep you guessing as each twist reveals a new possibility. It will remind you of friendships hidden in the depths of your own past, and make you wonder how well you really know the people you've loved the longest.

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.
