Last One At The Wedding - Jason Rekulak

Thriller

Rating: 8.5/10

Frank hasn’t seen or heard from his daughter in three years, so when she reaches out to invite him to her lavish wedding, he feels hopeful that their devasting estrangement is at its end. A new beginning, a chance to reconcile their fractured relationship.

You know that adage about sleeping dogs…something Frank maybe should have kept in mind.

Frank arrives to find that the wedding is at a secluded private estate, with a mostly absent and evasive groom, a mother of the groom being kept away from the guests, neighbors with accusations of murder, and that’s only the beginning. I had serious Get Out and Glass Onion vibes as the story unfolded.

Frank is full of suspicions and way out of his depth, much like this reader was when the bombshell twist exploded all over the page. As bad as things were starting to look, they would get so much worse.

Something that stuck in my head throughout this book, everyone is an unreliable narrator when it comes to their relationships.

Footnote: Loved the way the author parsed out the book into sections that followed the stages of a wedding.
