The Guilt Trip cover

Synopsis:

They went away as friends.
They came back as suspects.

Rachel and Jack. Paige and Noah. Will and Ali. Five friends who’ve known each other for years. And Ali, Will’s new fiancĂ©e.

The three couples travel to Portugal for Ali and Will’s destination wedding. Arriving at the gorgeous clifftop villa, the weekend away is a chance to relax and get to know Ali a little better. A newcomer to their group, she seems perfectly nice and Will seems happy after years of bad choices.

But when Rachel discovers a shocking secret about Ali, everything changes. As the wedding weekend unfolds, the secrets each of them holds begin to spill, and friendships and marriages threaten to unravel.

In Sandie Jones’s explosive new suspense novel, jumping to conclusions can become the difference between life and death.


Review:

Every couple has secrets, and sometimes secrets among friends can be counter to those shared as a couple. For this set of friends, dysfunction is not just a key word, it's the norm, as they all keep secrets from each other. As those secrets seem to blossom until the  'all in one house' syndrome, so do the consequences, until suddenly lies force actions that can't be taken back. And then when the truth comes out, everyone realizes the true costs of keeping all those secrets. A real page turner, this is a perfect beach read!
