I really wish I would of just bailed on this one. I don't think any of the characters' actions made sense, it's not really twisty or thrilling when the whole story relies on inexplicable behavior of every character in the book.

Just like The Girl in Cabin 10, this one went in an unexpected direction about 3 times. Excellent plot and story line, and a very sinister and unexpected antagonist.
I read this quickly and hungrily and was disappointed by the ending. The way the book resolved lost it a star from me.
I was so annoyed at the main character in this book. If I had been invited to a hen party of someone I hadn't spoken to in 10 years, I wouldn't have gone. The whole set up of this book was just weird. I was also able to figure out most of the plot twists before they happened. I can understand the appeal of this book for some people and it wasn't horrible, it was just mediocre.
