"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."
The Girls Weekend is about June Moody, an English professor who has always compared herself to her college girlfriends. After breaking up with her boyfriend she agrees to attend a girls weekend with her 4 best friends from college. However, it's at the one friend she always compared herself most to; Sadie. Not only is Sadie herself perfect but she leads the perfect life married to June's college ex-boyfriend.
As old feelings arise not only for June but all the girls, the weekend begins with rude remarks and secrets. Including a midnight meeting and too many drinks.
However, the next morning the girls wake to something they never thought would happen. The house has been destroyed, Sadie is missing and everyone is a suspect.
This novel has some twists and turns, I personally was more interested in the other characters than June herself. But overall, had an interesting twist ending and was an easy read.
I would give this novel ⭐⭐⭐✫ (3.5) star review. Overall i enjoy the concept and the story was enjoyable but the characters weren't super strong and i would like to have more information on their college life to give more depth.
