具體描述
The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner – The bridesmaid – The body
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?

##It’s poisonous. Vulgarly written. Without F*bombs the author couldn’t carry out functional conversations. The rowdy structure did not help with the tension she tried to force upon our readers. The whole thing just gave me headache reading it. What a waste to use Ireland as her book setting.
評分##比較一般，情感和劇情的轉摺都有點生硬
評分##好普通
評分##又一本猜到結尾的小說 沒什麼驚喜 也許拍成迷你劇會更有意思一點 #meh
評分##不理解為啥在kindly評分那麼高。 幸虧後來買瞭有聲書。 真的不值得花時間讀。 節奏太慢瞭。 睡一覺醒來還接的上。

評分##A bit disappointing.
評分##95%的內容鋪墊到瞭最後花瞭5%把這個圈畫圓，就和大傢說的一樣有點失望
評分節奏太緩慢瞭，大部分篇幅就是婚禮肥皂劇，推動劇情發展那是一點一點擠牙膏，擠一厘米縮迴去半厘米那種。感到刺激的片段像是幕間一閃而過。最後結尾節奏又飛快，硬是給反轉瞭好幾次，可是因為角色們隱藏的秘密都是差不多的味道，感受不到魅力。
