2000s: Four women, one weekend and a music festival they will not all leave alive.
FOUR WOMEN.
Orly, Lenny, Mel and Thea have been best friends since school. But now it is 20 years later and inevitably they have drifted apart.
ONE WEEKEND.
It is Lenny’s 40th birthday, plus Orly and Mel need cheering up, so Thea suggests a weekend away at a festival in their hometown. It’s a chance for them all to reconnect.
NOT ALL OF THEM WILL SURVIVE.
But their holiday soon takes a sinister turn, and not all of the friends will leave the festival alive…
If you have been to a music festival or not, this is one heck of an experience. Those of you who have been will recognise the atmosphere. There’s the tent etiquette, the mud, the walk to the stages, the areas for eating and drinking, the toilets and all the areas in between.
This festival is not one you would want to go to – well, at least not with the characters in the novel. Avoid sleeping in a tent close to the woods…..
I’ll start off by saying that I have never been to a festival like the one in the book. Now that I have read it, I’m never going to go! haha Blimey that was hard core!
Four friends meet up for a reunion. There’s camping and getting lost in the woods, drink, secrets, more drink, more secrets and well, it doesn’t end well.
Four women who have been friends since school but whose lives have all gone in very different directions. I ‘m guessing that if you have been to a festival, then the fear of someone getting into your tent, the vulnerability of sleeping close to the woods, having random people walking past your tent day and night and all the other issues…wow. The author has done some clever research and it all feels very authentic.
The friendship and secrets between the girls was compelling to read about. Plenty of red herrings to throw you off the scent. Yes indeed, this was a ride and a half.
