While I wasn’t a huge fan of this book, it is still entertaining and worth the read. I found myself having a hard time keeping track of the characters as there were so many.

This book blurb instantly drew me in; the storyline sounded like it would be a great thriller with twists and action and it has a great cover.

The story is about Adele and Jason, who have returned to their childhood home for their upcoming wedding. The story is told from several different viewpionts, some who have strong feelings about others, all of the characters animosity is from when they were teens. .

This was not as much of a thriller for me as I thought it would be. There wasd family drama and the ending was not what I expected but iverall, thsi was kind of a let down fo me. I found some fo the characters hard to like and hard to connect with. I struggled finishing it as I lost interest in the storyline mid way through the book.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishing house and the author for the opportunity to read a complimematary copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

This is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish
The plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns, the writing is both engaging and suspenseful, with well-developed characters that add depth to the narrative.
The pacing of the novel is perfect, with just the right amount of tension to keep readers hooked without feeling overwhelmed.
Really enjoyable

A perfect beach read. If you can’t afford the beach then read it anyway. Great thriller and lots of thrilling twists. Well worth a read.

This was such a twisty book! I never guessed who the killer was. I liked how fast paced the book was too. I'm glad that the characters were able to overcome their guilt some way or another. The twist at the end was really good too! I would highly recommend this twisty thriller.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are mine.

What a twisty read with some questionable characters. The book is set at a wedding where a terrible secret hangs in the balance. Nothing is what it seems with the characters. It is well written and perfect for fans of multiple people narrating .

accidentally submitted a review for a different ARC!

Might be the best ARC I’ve ever read?
All of the characters were pretty shitty people and I felt suspicious of the all 100% of the time, which is what made me like it
The characters were misleading, as they ALL felt like the bad guy for 80% of the book
I loved the jumping back and forth in time, which sometimes falls flat for me
A fast, fun, intriguing read that I blasted through. All set in the space of like 3 days in the present, plus the flashbacks to 12 years ago
Definitely interested in reading Rebecca Heath’s others books after this!

I enjoyed the ease at which this was laid out, each character was announced at the beginning of each chapter so you always knew who’s pov it was. Same with the timeline, always knew if it was past or present!
The storyline was interesting, wasn’t particularly fast paced but it was still good and there was a nice build up around what was actually going on and who you should trust etc. The suspense was pretty good and I didn’t guess the ending at all. I did feel as though all the ends weren’t tied up though and because I’m nosy I would have preferred if they were!

Pretty solid thriller novel. Adele, Jason and Sophie are bound by events that led to a tragedy 12 yeas earlier. Present day, Adele and Jason are to be married in a picturesque wedding at the same location as the tragedy many years before. As the wedding approaches, many feelings, secrets, and interpretations begin to surface over what really happened in the past. Told between two timelines, and shifting between first and third person narrative, this novel captures many different angles and perspectives of the events that unfold. Although an easy read and a good plot; characters could have been developed a bit further, secrets could have festered a bit more until the reader was desperate to know, and the ending could have used a bit more detail. Thank you to #NetGalley and #AriaandAries for the ARC.

I loved this one! Lots of characters and drama, secrets and twists, it reads like a juicy soap opera. It’s a fast read and held my interest from start to finish. The different POV’s really kept it interesting. Five stars!

Thanks for the opportunity to read!

So many things attracted me to this book: gorgeous cover, set in Australia, wedding, thriller.

Told in different POVs, Adele (the Bride), Melanie (grieving mother) and Sophie (grieving sister, bridesmaid) and 2 different timelines, current countdown to the wedding and 12 years prior. Adele and Ollie were high school sweethearts until Ollie’s tragic death. Adele and Jason are now getting married and family and friends gather to celebrate. What could go wrong?

As with any drama, there is so much going on in this book that one story line sometimes gets bogged down with another. Also, there are quiet a lot of characters throughout, many not lending much to the story. Few, if any are likable. Although this book ain’t for me, if you enjoy a daytime soap opera, full of excess drama and questionable twists, this book might be for you. Would be a good beach read.

Thanks to Aria and Aries and NetGalley for this ARC. This is my honest opinion.

The Wedding Party by Rebecca Heath tells the story of childhood sweethearts Jason and Adele as they gather their family and bridal party for the big wedding weekend. This book is told from a multiple viewpoints and jumps from 12 years ago to the current events.
The author keeps us guessing to what the real truth of the past is. Buried family secrets and strained relationships from the past are slowly unfolded which made this boom hard to put down. As I first began reading I thought I figured out the direction the book was going but Rebecca Heath had me guessing until the very end! I absolutely loved the ending.
The only thing that prevents me from rating this book higher is the abundance of characters in this book I’m not sure all were important to this story and at times made it very confusing.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. The opinions written are completely honest and my own.

DNC the reason for not completing was not a mix of putting the book down often and getting confused by the timelines due to cognitive issues. It seemed like it had potential to become a solid story I just could not get there. I recommend others try it for themselves

Unfortunately I found this one to be predictable and slow.

Told in multiple points of view, and different timelines. Both of which I enjoy.

So many questionable characters that almost anyone could be the bad guy.

For me it would have been a better read if there was a character I could connect with and root for.

The inclusion of the upcoming murder is what kept me reading.

Thanks to netgalley and Aria & Aries for the arc.

The wedding party by Rebecca Heath follows Adele and Jason, who are getting married at a vacation resort. Most of the twists were predictable. I really wanted to like this, but it ultimately fell flat for me.
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.

Firstly, if you like reading thrillers where you don’t like any of the characters then this one is definitely for you. Adele has returned to Refuge Bay with her nearest and dearest to marry Jason. They grew up together however as teenagers Adele’s heart was stolen by Ollie who tragically died at the jetty 12 years ago. Ollie’s mum Melanie has never got over her son’s death and the story is told from her and Adele’s pov and also Ollie’s sister Sophie 12 years ago.

Mix of good writing, somewhat predictable twists and characters holding a multitude of secrets.

Many thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for my eARC in exchange for my honest review.

My third Rebecca Heath novel and each one grips me tighter and tighter!
The Wedding Party Rebecca Heath had me devouring this book! It had me on the edge of my seat.
The character development was perfect, the storyline just perfect.

talk about a page turner. I could not put this book down. So many secrets and so many lies. The ending had my jaw dropping. I will definitely be reading more from Rebecca Heath

2⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and Aria & Aries for an advanced copy of The Wedding Party.

Adele and Jason are preparing for their wedding and things seem to be going wrong. First Jason has been getting messages telling him not to marry Adele and Adele is having serious doubts about the wedding. Also they both have been lying to one another. Another complication is Melanie, whose late son Ollie was best friends with Jason and used to date Adele, she has come to try to stop the wedding and get her revenge. Everyone has secrets and someone will not make it out alive.

This was a very mid level thriller at best. I was not a huge fan of the storyline or the characters. I was also able to guess the twists. The book really drug on until the last part when things start happening. Just not for me.

I found this to be an engaging thriller that had me itching to find out what happened. The ending did leave me with several questions., there were several plot points that went unanswered. While I did find many of the twists predicable, I was surprised by how some it played out. Overall, this was a fast-paced read that kept me hooked.
