The Weekend Away by Sarah Alderson Book Summary

***Now a Netflix Original movie, starring Leighton Meester, streaming globally.***

Miles from home. Trust no one. Suspect everyone.

Orla and Kate have been best friends forever. Together they’ve faced it all – be it Orla’s struggles as a new mother or Kate’s messy divorce. And whatever else happens in their lives, they can always look forward to their annual weekend away.

This year, they’re off to Lisbon: the perfect flat, the perfect view, the perfect itinerary. And what better way to kick things off in style than with the perfect night out?

But when Orla wakes up the next morning, Kate is gone. Brushed off by the police and with only a fuzzy memory of the night’s events, Orla is her friend’s only hope. As she frantically retraces their steps, Orla makes a series of shattering discoveries that threaten everything she holds dear. Because while Lisbon holds the secret of what happened that night, the truth may lie closer to home…

A twisty holiday read from the USA Today bestselling author.

Great read, great author. Great read, twists and more twists. Loved the author’s style of writing. Thought I had it figured out, and then another twist.

Surviving the Weekend. The premise caught my attention immediately. A missing friend while on vacation sounds like a good mystery! But the twists and turns is what made it an excellent mystery & thriller. There were a couple twists that I didn’t even see coming. The author makes it clear from the beginning that you can’t trust anyone... What feels like a slow start in the beginning, ends up being great background information. Keep your eyes peeled! Orla was an interesting narrator to the story and does what anyone would do if their friend ends up missing on a trip. I enjoyed her character evolution, although she may be too trusting at times. All in all, it was a great read!

Life Interrupted. Prepare yourself for a life interruption. I agree that the book started a little slow but it is not without purpose. The author is setting up the details that you will come back to again as you try to piece together this mystery. As you approach the midway point of this book you won’t want to put it down. Prepare yourself to stay up too late and get in a chapter or two at lunch or even a page or so as your brush you teeth before work. It’s that good.

Ending was great but. Just when I thought I knew how it was going to end, there was a pretty good twist. My only complaint with this book is that the main character Orla is the stupidest protagonist I’ve ever read, which made this hard to read at some points. Overall good easy read.

Keeps you reading. Definitely enough characters and situations to keep you guessing. Good writing and a lead character naive enough to keep you reading to determine what’s next.

The weekend away. Stupid.

Twisty Thriller. Two friends go away on a friends holiday but only one comes down. What a way to grab you. I loved all the twists and turns and couldn’t read it fast enough to find out what happened. A perfect summer read!

Couldn’t put it down. I thought the book started out a little slow.. gathering details and little bits of information. However, when the story got interesting—it didn’t stop and I couldn’t put it down. 10/10 would recommend.

Great Read!. So good, kept me guess the entire time! Quick read but very engaging.
