Are you reading this book the entire month or do you have specific dates? If you are breaking up the chapters, please let us know. I am interested to read this book with you if I can work the schedule in with my other reads for March.
I plan on reading it. Have the audio on hold at my library through the Libby app.

Editions may differ. I am reading from a hardcover edition which has 313 pages. My edition is not from Book of the Month. Can anyone tell me if the Book of the Month edition is the same?
If you are listening on audio I will try to give you the time stamps and chapter numbers. I am listening on Scribd. The chapters there are divided the same as the book. I don't know if it is the same on other audio formats. I hope that my math is correct. Scribd on tells you how much time you have left and so I had to figure out the start times for each section. Please forgive me if they are incorrect.
Week 1, March 1-7: Pages 1-76
Chapters: The Wedding Night (Now) through Hannah (The Day Before)
Audio: Section 1 is 0:00 to 2:27 with 7 hours & 55 minutes left
Week 2, March 8-14: Pages 77-149
Chapters: The Wedding Night (Now) through Jules (Earlier That Day)
Audio: Section 2 is 2:27 to 4:47ish with 5 hours and 35 minutes left.
Week 3, March 15-21: Pages 150-227
Chapters: The Wedding Night (Now) through Olivia
Audio: Section 3 is 4:47 to 7:18 with 3 hours and 4 minutes to go.
Week 4, March 22-28: Pages 228-313
Chapters: Hannah through the Epilogue
Audio: Section 4 is 7:18 to the end.
Happy reading everyone!
Hi Elizabeth. I would love to join in!
I have no idea how many pages because I'm listening on audio. I'm on 1:35:56 is all I know.

Thank you Elizabeth!!

I have finished the first section and made some comments. Also I have edited the schedule to include audio time stamps. I hope they are correct. My audio version is on Scribd which does divide the chapters the same as the print book. I hope it's the same on other formats. Amber where is your audio book from? Is it Scribd or Audible or something else?
I am 42% in. I just want to hurry and get it done, because I have so many others I want to read this month. Also, there's people waiting on it. I'm listening to it on Libby from my library. I'm won't post about it until the end of the month, when everyone has read it.
I finished the first section last night. I listen on audio and was planning to just listen to all of it but figured I’d follow the schedule since there is one instead. I will say that I’m not loving it but I do plan to finish it with the group since it is Elizabeth’s read along and I told her I was participating. I have it on audio so it should go pretty quickly when I do pick it up to read the sections each week.

My apologies on two counts. First of all I could have sworn that I made discussion threads for all four sections whenever I figured out the audio schedule.
Second of all, I apologize for picking a book with so much foul language and so many unlikable characters. This is what my book club is reading for April, and it seemed to be a book that people were interested in.
Anyway, if you are not enjoying it and struggling to finish it, please do not feel any obligation to continue. I will not be mad or feel bad.
Okay, I'm making a threads for sections 2 through 4 right now.
I have one hour left on audio.
You have all been invited to join me in reading The Guest List by Lucy Foley. I'm reading this as a readalong for March Mystery Madness 2021 and also for my local book club which is called The Whodunits Book Club.
Let me know if you plan to join in. I will also plan on sharing your comments with my local book club so there will be more discussion threads and a reading schedule coming soon.
