Jules and Will are getting married on the remote Irish island of Inis an Amplóra. The book is set during the weekend of her wedding to Will Slater, a survivalist and reality TV star of the show Survive the Night. Jules Keegan is a successful, driven woman who started and runs an online lifestyle magazine called The Download. It’s fast-paced with lots of carefully timed reveals, and it’s told from multiple viewpoints. The Guest List has the atmosphere of a Gothic, but reads like a thriller. I just want to shove it in people’s hands and say, “read this right now!” It’s feminist. The Guest List is one of those books it’s a thriller that is so superbly plotted that I’m afraid to say anything about it because I want other readers to enjoy every reveal as much as I did. It’s difficult to review a book that is so, so good, but you don’t want to reveal too much for fear of ruining it for others.
