This was a fun beach read style book. Recommend it

Wasn’t able to read this one digitally but I did order a copy of the book so will be reviewing it after I’ve read it. I’m really excited for it as I’ve only heard great things about it.

Review:
How to slay on holiday by Sarah Bonner

So Chloe has planned her husbands murder, first they are on a huge family holiday making sure that everyone sees her and her husband bonding.
What happens next well you need to read it but it’s funny dark and twisty. Actually loved this read was so good and well executed. It was like a real life family holiday with the sibling rivalry, annoying in laws and husbands that need to sort themselves out. Absolutely brilliant read
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another delightful read from Sarah Bonner, earning it a solid 4-star rating. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, just as much as I did ‘How To Slay At Work’. Like its predecessor, this is a witty murder mystery with a strong female protagonist at the centre of the plot. The story is engaging and fast-paced, keeping me guessing until the very end. I particularly appreciate Bonner’s writing style, which draws me in from the very beginning and keeps me hooked throughout. The characters are well-developed and believable, given the lifestyles of the people involved. I must admit, I wasn’t expecting the unexpected twist at the end, but it was incredibly satisfying to read. I eagerly anticipate Sarah Bonner’s next release.

Sarah Bonner is an amazing author!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved this crazy plot of a story. This plot is full of twists and turns and I enjoyed every second of it. A very diabolical, enjoyable book.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from Netgalley. I read and enjoyed the previous book in this series, so was pleased to be granted an ARC of 'How to Slay on Holiday.' The book was completely absurd, and far divorced from reality, but this just made it all the more fun. Although none of the characters were especially likeable, I was engaged in the story and I didn't see the final twist at all. That said, some of the resolution was too rushed.

The first book in this series, How to Slay at Work, was a five star read for me last year, so when I saw that book two was available I immediately requested it.

The beginning was intriguing when Chloe subconsciously announces that she wants to kill her husband, but how will she get away with it? As the story unfolds, she finds out she’s not the only person that wants her husband dead and there’s someone within her family that’s on to her scheme of murder, but who?

There were TOO MANY characters to keep track of in this book. Seven characters in the very beginning, then more throughout the story. After finishing, I still don’t remember who was who and I feel like the constant retracing took the fun out of the book.

Not only were there several characters to keep track of, but there was several events happening and it was hard to keep up with it all. Everything went downhill pretty quickly, the story seemed far fetched, and the book just didn’t live up to my expectations.

This is an honest review done in exchange for an advanced reader copy.

This book is simply a must read!
A dark, but very numerous thriller with twist after twist. The story takes place in magnificent Mykonos on a family vacation, so hat could go wrong? We start with Chloe who has great plans that include murdering her husband, plans, which are just that are further complicated by suspicious relatives, ongoing family rivalries, and the constant watch of the concierge.

This book is written n multiple character point of views, which helps the reader gain a deeper understanding of the characters, and their well kept secrets and underlying nuances.

The characters prove to be complex, with many underlying agendas.. Much of the suspense comes from inter-personal relationships between the characters. There is no trust anywhere amongst them.

This was a very quick read, one that I never wanted to end. It was a thoughtfully written book and I look forward to reading more books from this author.

Thank you Netgalley for early access to this book in exchange for an honest review,

This is my first book by Sarah Bonner and boy will it not be my last! This was such an easy and fun read. Meet Chloe-- the daughter of a notorious family that is married to the son of another notorious family. She takes both families on a family vacation to Greece. Everything is picture perfect...or is it? Chloe wants out of her marriage and is putting on a facade of the perfect wife to not throw light to the fact that she has arranged for the removal of her husband. But not everything goes as planned as more people are into her plans and the "removal" of her husband takes place before the scheduled time. I loved the twists this book took. Highly recommend.

this book had a lot of potential, but it did not manage to hook me in. There was something in the flippancy of the character that made the reading experience not a good one. the characters and plot seemed quite shallow to me and i did not vibe with it.
I am not saying it's not a good book, just that it was not up my street.

Really enjoyed this. I love Sarah Bonner’s humour and this book was no different. A great, quick read that I would recommend highly!

This is a fun, new addition to the satirical female murder genre that's popular at the moment - or popular with me anyway. I loved the witty, fast-paced writing style. One of my favourites was "I'm not even thirty and I feel...ancient, most of these girls can't be much older than twenty-one - it's like the waiting room for auditions for Leonardo DiCaprio's next girlfriend." I also enjoyed the gangster characters with their dodgy moral compasses, evidenced when Grace says she doesn't trust Tori and she replies: "Fair. I probably wouldn't trust me either." The story itself was a bit chaotic. There was too much going on, much of which was unnecessary and some of which was later abandoned without resolution. This led to a few plot holes (namely how did Tori know Chloe was planning to kill her husband) and shallow motivations (as in the murderer which while a twist, felt like it came out of nowhere with little context). But this didn't detract - the story almost didn't matter - as it was all about the humour, writing, characters and fun vibes!

Twists and turns apace as we jpin the family on the holiday that turns out to be the holiday from hell. Kepy me hooked until the last minute.

This was a dark, fun & twisty read! There were plenty of plot twists throughout and it was the perfect holiday read. My first book from this author but certainly won’t be my last! Thank you NetGalley and the Publishers for my ARC

Ahhh, I absolutely ate this book up! I have not read many, if any at all, books in the comedic thriller genre. Nor have I come across Sarah Bonner before, and I will now be adding her backlist to my TBR because WOW!

This book very much gave off 'The White Lotus' vibes. There were so many twists and turns in this that Sarah Bonner honestly had me guessing until the very end. Highly, highly recommend this one!

Thank you, NetGalley, Sarah Bonner, and Boldwood Books, for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was the perfect book to get me through the day! The story was fast-paced and kept me guessing the whole way through. I enjoyed the setting of a Greek resort for the ultra-rich and the characters were well-developed, which added to the thrill of trying to figure out who the guilty party was. The premise itself was interesting and kept me hooked on the story, with so many twists and turns that I always thought I knew and then was proved so wrong; the ending was something I definitely didn’t expect. Highly recommended and I don’t think you have to start with the first one (which was also fun) as the characters, from what I remember, don’t overlap.

I’ve read this author’s other books and enjoyed them so was looking forward to the latest novel. The cover is bright and eye catching and I’m sure it would raise a few eyebrows around the pool on holiday!

Chloe is preparing to go on a family holiday to Mykonos with her husband Scott. She has chosen a luxury villa and ordered a hit on her husband. On the surface Chloe seems to have it all, but in reality her husband makes her life a misery. Confident she’ll get away with her plan, she’s horrified to find her sister in law has found out. Things go more awry and what should have been a relaxing week turns out to be anything but!

This is easy to read and has plenty of dark humour. I quite liked the characters but didn’t root for anyone in particular.

There was something missing in this book and I can’t put my finger on what it was. The plot didn’t quite work for me, I think there were too many strands of the story trying to fit together. The ending was a total damp squib for me and was a bit disappointing.

Unfortunately the ending let the book down for me but it’s still worth a read.

I wasn't sure what to make of this book at first. It was a little hard to follow the plotline but it picked up in the second half. I was also not expecting the end and was totally surprised.

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

This was a wonderfully fun thriller! There were lots of giggles and twists, great characters and storyline; and all in a beautiful location.

Chloe has been planning the murder of her husband for some time,,.everything is set and ready to go. But goirst Chloe has to make everyone believe that her and her husband are tighter than ever and not only planning for a long future but for a child together. She arranges for the whole family, both his and hers to go to Mykonos in Greece for a family vacation. Right away the first evening things start to go sideways. Can Chloe keep her plan in motion, or will her husband’s sister Tori ruin her plans?

There were so many twists in this book and I can honestly say I did not pick the antagonist correctly. I look forward to more books with this author.

Pure entertainment value for this reader!! As she sets the stage for her husband's death by misadventure, Chloe's plans keep changing. She's had enough, but really does not want to go to jail, so Chloe has decided Scott has to die. An extended family vacation does not go as planned with each chapter setting her plans back a step or two. This was a "read in one day" book because you just can't believe how much you'll love it! I can't wait to share this one!!!!
