Something 🐠 fishy is going on with this title!

* LOST the REVIEW and ALL 160 likes and comments * 🙁

Republished review from June 2020…

This is how you do a “closed room” mystery!

I didn’t need a “seating chart” for this wedding, to keep the guests straight!

Each of your FIVE narrators, were well developed in their first chapter and there was NO confusion as to WHO they were or WHAT part they played in the wedding.

Jules, the bride
Olivia, the bridesmaid
Hannah, the plus one
Johnno, the best man
Aoife, the wedding planner

Told in two timelines; The Day Before and The Wedding Night

The TROUBLE begins when the bride receives an anonymous note:
“Will Slater is not the man you think he is. He’s a cheat, and a liar. Don’t marry him!!!

As the chilled champagne is served, and tongues get loosened from the alcohol, and cocaine, secrets start spilling. 🍾🥂

Each narrative, also gives you a glimpse of the “anger” that simmers just below the surface of each guest, hidden behind their public persona- their smiling face..

It ends when THE LIGHTS GO OUT...

Who didn’t survive the night and who was responsible?

COME crash this wedding, and find out!

MarilynW Déjà vu again 😂


Catherine (alternativelytitledbooks) - in a book slump :( Yeah what on earth is going on with this book? It’s very bizarre…glad our reviews didn’t disappear entirely though, and glad you liked this one Jayme! 💕


Shá Interesting. The same thing happened with my review for this book. Something weird must have gone wrong.

I was wondering why I was getting notifications about an old "review" (although now I can only see the rating and my original review somehow got deleted).


JanB Oh no, sorry about the lost review. I’ve been on GR since 2020 and I might break out in hives at the thought of losing my books/reviews 😱

I liked this one, didn’t love it

Great review Jayme!

Bec (becbingesbooks) - sorry, behind with lots of catching up to do Shame you lost a review! I couldn't possibly recall from years prior so I'm impressed. Fab review. Something fishy is going on with one of my reviews that isn't showing publicly unless on certain devices :/


message 14: by Kay (new) - rated it 3 stars

Kay This title is reshelved for so many people, not my audio edition. Seeing so many "reading 2nd time", I was curious as to what was going on and thought it was a PR thing as it's set in Ireland! Sorry, it happened to you, Jayme!


Sujoya - theoverbookedbibliophile Sorry about your lost review, Jayme. Glad you enjoyed this one!💖
