What do you do when the wedding of your dreams turns into a nightmare?

When Lizzie calls off her wedding in the south of France only a week before the big day, not even her closest friends know why. But since the chateau is already paid for, they figure it's the perfect place to take Lizzie's her mind off her suddenly single state.

But when the group arrives, the wedding is waiting for them - food, flowers, and all.

The next day, Lizzie wakes to find her friends have drunkenly revelled in the wedding-that-wasn't - but not all their antics were benign. Someone is set on tormenting Lizzie, and she can't think who.

The more the friends try to piece together exactly what happened that night, the more secrets start to come out . . .

Well it built to a rather interesting and dramatic conclusion, however it took a while to get to that stage. 

Initially you have no idea who you can trust, but its clear something not quite right is occuring, and that none of the people on this trip are quite sure whos to blame. 

It is soon apparently there are many secrets the characters are hiding, and it was enjoyable to slowly discover them as the book went on. 

I can't say I particularly gelled with any of the characters but I did feel sorry for Lizzie. 

Overall its a great concept and a good story, 

Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
