In the vein of The Other Woman, Sandie Jones’s explosive new novel The Guilt Trip will have readers gripped to the very last page. Six friends. Rachel and Noah have been friends since they met at university. While they once thought that they might be something more, now, twenty years later, they are each happily married to other people, Jack and Paige respectively. Jack’s brother Will is getting married, to the dazzling, impulsive Ali, and…

Three couples go away for a destination wedding in Portugal but how many will come back? The main character, Rachel is married to Jack. It is Jack’s brother Will getting married to Ali. On an impulse, Will invites their friends Paige and Noah to come along. Tensions begin to run high as they arrive at the airport to leave. Ali is missing her passport and Rachel makes Jack go with her to look for it. Paige begins to put thoughts in Rachel’s mind that Ali is/was having an affair with Jack.

 

Rachel’s suspicions begin to build as Ali seems to be flirting with Jack. When Ali gives Jack an inappropriate best man gift, it all but confirms their affair. An incident at the wedding will change everyone’s lives forever.

 

The book has a slow pace since it takes place over the course of a couple of days. The characters are somewhat developed. The story is told in the third person point of view. This is the first book I have read/listened to by this author, but it will not be the last. I enjoyed the twists and turns in the plots and the fact that they left me guessing until the end.
