Well this is a bit bonkers! Robyn, the ultimate feminist, is asked by her best friend Ellie to be her maid of honour which quite frankly is the stuff of her nightmares. She reluctantly agrees. The book centres around the week leading up to the wedding when some seriously ominous events start to occur.
If you're alright with your thrillers being on a scale of 0 - not likely to happen, completely off the charts then this is for you!
Despite its ridiculousness I actually found myself quite gripped by this crazy, dark but humourous tale. I've recently learned that I probably need to stop taking all the books I read so seriously and to start embracing the madness. It is fiction after all!
