That Weekend ~ Kara Thomas ☆ Book Review
Good morning!
It’s been a while since I’ve published a book review on here; For the first one, I had opted to review only on SG as I didn’t had any constructed thoughts on it, and the other.. I actually shoved back on my shelf to read a bit later as I was feeling more melancholic and demanded a darker book instead of my holiday Romcom 😅

Trigger warning: domestic violence
Keep or unhaul? unhaul
This read the same way as In a dark dark wood from Ruth Ware, where the MC is in the future trying to remember what happened few days ago.
As we discover more details about the fatal night, the MC gets more and more confused as that’s really out of character of her – what in hell happened that she ended up alone and hurt on the bottom of a mountain ? Where did her friends go, and did she really hurted them- but why?
As the story progress and the clues are revealed, the more does it set doubts on what informations Jesse & Kat might’ve had hidden from their friend; something that is actually one of my bigger fear. Despite knowing people for years, we might not actually *know* them.. they might’ve hidden big part of themselves, or even just played a role all along.
The part called “The other side” being from Kat POV and knowing the behind the scenes, what really happened on that mountain and what informations was withheld from Claire.. I was surprised. Absolutely did not saw that coming; shows how the outside look of a situation is SO different from the reality.
The last chapters though, binging again from Kat to Claire? It was hard for me to keep reading, though I wanted to finish the book anyway at that point, and we did found out another MAJOR shocker.. but of no real interrest for me, I gotta say. I think I would’ve rather had a different ending, or for it to end sooner without having the resolve to all the questions.
