Giving it three stars because of the ending, but honestly, if the ending had been tied up in a neat, clear bow, I'm not sure it would have garnered a much higher rating anyway.

An adventure set in the mountains of Sweden, full of suspense with one of those endings that makes for great discussion at a book club.

I absolutely loved The Couples Trip! I devoured it from start to finish, unable to put it down. It consumed my thoughts all day, and I couldn’t wait to get back to it after work. @crimebythebook recommendation was spot on—I love a good isolated winter thriller, and this book delivered in every way. The chilling, atmospheric setting in the snowy mountains was completely immersive. It’s the perfect backdrop for a story filled with untrustworthy characters and a plot that keeps you guessing. The use of multiple timelines added depth, and just when I thought I had everything figured out, the twist ending threw me completely off balance. What a wild ride! The characters were so compelling, and I loved discovering their secrets as the story progressed. The book’s foreign setting made it even more exciting; I don’t travel much, so reading about other countries is always a thrilling escape for me. If you’re a fan of gripping plots, jaw-dropping twists, and a vividly atmospheric setting, The Couples Trip is an absolute must-read. Grab a warm blanket, because you’ll be flipping pages as fast as you can, and won’t want to put it down.

I got this book on a whim at the library and I’m so glad I did! It kept me interested the whole book. It was nonstop action. The twist at the end was well thought of with hints along the way. Will likely be one of my favorite books of the year. I downgraded it a half a star because I had a few questions at the end. Overall the book was a very satisfying read!

I enjoyed the nature and hiking descriptors in this book however, that I think would be very boring for non nature lovers as it does not really advance the plot. The ending at first I hated but now after a week or two of reflection its grown a bit more on me. I found the book fast paced and I did feel uneasy at times, the writing truly envelops you in the vastness of the wilderness.
