The Guest List Summary
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?
Where to get the book?
Whether you prefer digital or physical books, we’ve listed several options below.
Amazon
If you have a Kindle or like audiobooks, Amazon is probably already your go-to for book purchases. They offer a variety of purchase options.
OverDrive / Libby
Check your local library, they often allow digital rentals through OverDrive and the Libby app! You’ll just need your library card to log in.
Local Bookstore
Amazon is still a good option to get the paperback or hardcover, but sometimes delivery can be a pain. If physical books are your thing, please try to support your local bookstore or library!
Reading Schedule
We’ve decided to only do one discussion this month and it will be over the full book. Discussions take place right here on the blog! Feel free to read at your own pace and comment after the discussion date if that works better for your schedule.
