The Girls Weekend

A Novel

By: Jody Gehrman

Narrated by: Emily Ellet

June Moody, a 30-something English professor, just wants to get away from her recent breakup and reunite with girlfriends over summer break. Her old friend and longtime nemesis Sadie MacTavish, a mega-successful author, invites June and her college friends to a baby shower at her sprawling estate in the San Juan Islands. June is less than thrilled to spend time with Sadie and her husband - June's former crush - but agrees to go.

The party gets off to a shaky start when old grudges resurface, but when they wake the next morning, they find something worse: Sadie is missing, the house is in shambles, and bloodstains mar the staircase. None of them has any memory of the night before; they wonder if they were drugged. Everyone's a suspect. Since June had a secret rendezvous with Sadie's husband, she has plenty of reason to suspect herself. Apparently, so do the cops.

A Celtic knot of suspense and surprise, this brooding, atmospheric novel will keep you guessing as each twist reveals a new possibility. It will remind you of friendships hidden in the depths of your own past and will make you wonder how well you really know the people you've loved the longest.

Good Story

I really enjoyed the story but the narrator made it difficult to listen to. Her mispronounciation of the Japanese name "Kimiko" made me wanna tear out my hair. The descriptions of smells & scenes etc. were too elaborate & way over dramatized but the premise made for a good book.

Absolutely loved!!

Emily Ellet is amazing with voices! The book was very good and the twists and turns were crazy! So shocking

Really good. gas me thinking

as always there will be no spoilers in my reviews


liked this book more than I expected to. instantly bonded with characters. I wasn't crazy about the ending but it was good and it fit , my only odd critic would be that one character has a english/british accent. don't get me wrong I actually prefer my books with all characters having a london ? accent ,. but here only one person did. I felt thrown by it at times. The Narrator was spot on. very good with each character having a distinct voice pattern. great job.

Slow and a little annoying

Not yet finished, and I don’t know if I will. The main character is a weak female lead. Character development is pretty shallow. Finally, something is happening, and there is very little intensity to hold my attention. I abandoned it as soon as my book club decided on a new read.

Couldn’t keep my interest

It was ok but I just couldn’t keep into it. Not a lot of highlights
