Book Description
From the bestselling authors of The Good Widow comes a chilling novel of psychological suspense that will make you think twice about what your best friend may be hiding…
For estranged friends Ashley, Natalie, and Lauren, it’s time to heal the old wounds between them. Where better to repair those severed ties than on a girls’ getaway to the beautiful paradise of Tulum, Mexico? But even after they’re reunited, no one is being completely honest about the past or the secrets they’re hiding. When Ashley disappears on their girls’ night out, Natalie and Lauren have to try to piece together their hazy memories to figure out what could have happened to her, while also reconciling their feelings of guilt over their last moments together.
Was Ashley with the man she’d met only days before? Did she pack up and leave? Was she kidnapped? Or worse—could Natalie or Lauren have snapped under the weight of her own lies?
As the clock ticks, hour by hour, Natalie and Lauren’s search rushes headlong into growing suspicion and dread. Maybe their secrets run deeper and more dangerous than one of them is willing—or too afraid—to admit.
My Thoughts
Liz and Lisa's books just keep getting better and better. If you have had the pleasure to read their books in the past you know what I am talking about.
Girls' Night Out was such a roller coaster of emotions. I was just eager to know the final outcome for Ashley but at the same time did not want it to end. I could not put it down.
Girls's Night Out is not only the story of best friends Ashley, Natalie and Lauren's trip to Tulum, Mexico and the disappearance of Ashley but a book which explores in depth the themes of friendship, family dinamics, healing, forgiveness, understanding and how complicated relationships can be, especially when it comes to the people closest to us.
I loved the story and how it alternates between the point of view of the three main characters, going back and forth from the days before and after Ashley's disappearance. This structured worked perfectly because I was able to get to know the characters and better connect with them. I also love how in Liz and Lisa's books we get a very clear picture of the setting, the places we are reading about. In this case Tulum, Mexico, definitely a place I would love to go some day.
Girls' Night Out was such a captivating read. Suspenseful, a page turner, reliable characters, a story about friendship that we can all relate to in one way or another.
Thank you to Lisa and Liz for sending me an ARC. It truly was an amazing surprise on my mail. Looking forward to your next book.
Wendy
