I picked this book up because I needed something to listen to while I am not reading any of my literary fiction books. This book surprised me. In a good way. I... really enjoyed it.

We meet Jules and Will, a couple to be married. They choose a far off island to get married. They invite their close friends and family to share their happiness with them. Everything goes well except someone is dead on the wedding day. Who is it? The close friends and the family of the couple carry their own secrets. What has happened? Who killed whom?

I had 0 expectations when I started to listen to the audiobook. The only reason why I listened to this is because I needed a way to pass time rather than scrolling through the never-ending reels. This book is a modern rendition of my favorite, ‘And then there were none' by Agatha Christie. I do not want to compare this book to Agatha Christie's but Lucy Foley delivered. Now, don't build your expectations. It is predictable the way it ends but the unfolding of secrets and how each character's secrets are linked to others is something enjoyable.

I would definitely recommend this to you if you are looking to pass time but not particularly if you do not enjoy multiple perspectives or if you are looking for something out of the box.
