The Guest List By Lucy Foley
Three Stars — Good storyline, but left much to be desired.
The Guest List by Lucy Foley has been on my list for a while and it’s one I constantly see being recommended on various platforms. It’s a New York Times bestseller and many readers have compared it to the famous Agatha Christie novels.
Given this, I had high hopes for this book and was excited to start it. I don't want to say I was disappointed because the storyline did deliver in terms of a few crazy plot twists, but for most of the book, I was underwhelmed.
The Guest List tells a story of a wedding that takes place on an island off the coast of Ireland. This isn’t just any island though, this island is supposedly haunted and many of the wedding-goers suspect as much throughout the night.
Jules has high hopes though of course, she wants this wedding to be everything she dreamed of and more. She and Will, her soon-to-be husband are both high profile people: Will a rising TV star, and Jules a magazine publisher. A seemingly perfect couple. But does Jules really know who she’s marrying?
Throughout the wedding weekend, she can’t seem to get a note out of her head. Someone, a person she knows, dropped a note in her mailslot one day: a warning not to marry Will.
