She Started It: A Novel

A hot, twisty summer debut thriller about a Caribbean bachelorette party that takes a sinister turn. It’s Lord of the Flies meets And Then There Were None...but with Instagram and too much prosecco.

The party of a lifetime is nothing like what they expected...

Annabel, Esther, Tanya, and Chloe are best friends—or were, as children. Despite drifting apart in adulthood, shared secrets have kept them bonded for better or worse, even as their childhood dreams haven’t quite turned out as they’d hoped. Then one day they receive a wholly unexpected—but not entirely unwelcome—invitation from another old friend. Poppy Greer has invited them all to her extravagant bachelorette party: a first-class plane ticket to three days of white sand, cocktails, and relaxation on a luxe private island in the Bahamas.

None of them has spoken to Poppy in years. But Poppy’s Instagram pics shows that the girl they used to consider the weakest link in their group has definitely made good—and made money. Curiosity gets the better of them. Besides, who can turn down a posh all-expenses-paid vacation on a Caribbean island?

The first-class flight and the island’s accommodations are just as opulent as expected...even if the scenic island proves more remote than they’d anticipated. Quite remote, in fact, with no cell service, and no other guests. The women quickly discover they’ve underestimated Poppy, and each other. As their darkest secrets are revealed, the tropical adventure morphs into a terrifying nightmare.

Endlessly twisty, sharply observant, and deliciously catty, She Started It is sure to shock readers until the very end.

I don’t really think I need to write a review given it will echo many of the others but thought I might elaborate for my own future reference. Essentially none of the characters are likable and they are far too similar to benefit from perspective switching (which is generally a plot device I enjoy a lot). I probably wouldn’t rush to read this author again, but I’ll give it 2 stars because the prose went quickly.

Multiple twists were easy to figure out immediately but still a fun book to read!

Twisty but in a predictable way. No redeeming characters. TW bullying, suicidal ideation, cutting

In case you don’t have common sense, like these girls clearly did not, don’t accept a fully paid for vacation hosted by a girl you severely bullied in high school, and haven’t talked to in 10 years, and expect everything to be just peachy. This book was captivating, but every “twist” was expected and cliche. It’s a nice escape read, but nothing too impressive.
