Actual Rating: 3 stars
Content Warnings: Discusses murder, abortion, involuntary porn, and alcoholism.
You’ve been cordially invited to the wedding of two rising micro celebrities. Told through different points of view, and occasionally alternating between timelines in the past and the future, “The Guest List” is as close to a murder mystery party as a book can get.
I was so excited about this book. Seeing as it won in its genre in the 2020 Goodreads Choice Awards (and I just recently started reading mystery novels again), I thought I would’ve loved it. But I was not happy with the ending and how they got there. I feel like so many knots were left untied, and, honestly, I didn’t even sympathize with the characters at all.
It’s not that I wouldn’t recommend this book—it was really well written and the plot line (up until the very end) was well carried out and very interesting—I just didn’t love it. Give this book a read if you already like Mystery and Thriller novels. Don’t let this be your first exposure to the genre, because you might be discouraged from ever reading it again.
