There were some twists that felt like they were purely for shock value and others that I thought were pretty good. Overall, I wanted to like this book more than I did. Kat is a horrible best friend and I just didn’t really like either of them.

The two are dating, but Claire’s been in love with Jesse for years. I would have liked this book so much more had that bit just not been included.Ĭlaire’s “friends” Kat and Jesse were awful. But right at the end, there’s a horrible incest twist that is completely unnecessary and just awful. Okay, I just read reviews until I found a really detailed one that jogged my memory about the twists. I’m writing this review about two weeks after having read the book and I had to go and read other reviews to remember anything about this book (aside from the fact that I really didn’t like the twist, but I still don’t remember what that twist was?) That Weekend covered some heavy topics (such as domestic violence, death, and abuse.) I think these topics were all covered thoughtfully and with care, all except for that horrible twist at the end.

Claire doesn’t have any memory of what happened ‘that weekend’ and the suspense of not knowing, getting small details slowly revealed, was really well done in my opinion. I was interested in the story and it kept my attention. I read this book in an afternoon while I was on vacation and it was wonderful. So, after refreshing my memory a bit by reading some reviews, I’m going to share what I liked and what I didn’t. I honestly remember little to nothing about this book.
