The guest list book review. The Guest List was the first book by Melissa Hill that I have read and I definitely will be reading her other works. With this novel she created a story that was not only engaging but fascinating as well. Unlike many novels focused on weddings complete with the bridezilla and the over the top wedding planner this novel had none of those things.

Lucy Foleys first thriller The Hunting Party told the story of a party of old friends snowed in at a. At a time when weddings vacations and beaches are off the table for many readers The Guest List offers a vicarious plus-one. But the novels mood of physical and psychological isolation and the vertiginous house-of-cards atmosphere of carefully cultivated beauty teetering on imminent collapse feels strangely appropriate for our times.
I personally liked it better than The Guest List. During the languid days of the Christmas break a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together a tradition they began as students ten years ago. Check Goodreads to see the books ratings.
My Opinion 35 5 I loved listening to this with the different narrators and all the lovely accents. I could listen to that all day. I channeled my distant Irish relatives and locked in on that accent.
The multiple POVs were.

Much of this story is shiny over-the-top glamour but there are moments of real sorrow interwoven among the revelry.
