- SPOILERS
- This book is super messed up, in the best way possible. This book is about a group that has spent every New Year’s Eve together since college. Now, they are in their 30s, and they want to keep this friendship alive, though a lot has changed. This year, the “new girl” to the group, Emma, was in charge of planning everything, and she chose to party in the wilderness of Scotland. There’s fabulous Miranda with her equally as-fabulous husband Julien, new parents Samira and Giles with their baby, Emma’s weird but “totally harmless” boyfriend Mark, posh Nick and his American boyfriend Bo, and lawyer Kate. Heather and Doug, two basically strangers, run the lodge that this fancy group was supposed to get all to themselves. Of course, a creepy Icelandic couple just has to ruin the moment. But everything will be fine, right...? Until someone ends up dead. With little-to-no reception, a horrendous snowstorm, and a serial killer on the loose, the cops are too busy/aren’t able to make it up to investigate. Will the killer ever be caught? And well do you truly know someone you only see once a year now?
- I love the way Lucy Foley builds up to everything. Every time you THINK you know the ending, she comes in with a plot twist. I also love how she let basically every character be the narrator at one point, so you can truly see inside the character’s mind.
