A review by lhackford
Friends in Napa by Sheila Yasmin Marikar

3.0

Five friends meet up 20 years after college for a weekend of fun. Raj and Rachel Ranjani, excited to show their friends their new winery, are falling apart beneath their glitzy façade. Working mother Anjali’s life is also falling apart, in a non glitzy fashion and everyone is just trying to hold on.
Through bottles (and bottles) of wine, backhanded comments and a whole lot of background, we end the weekend with a surprising and unexpected death.
This was not a thriller but not....not a thriller. The only thing thrilling about it was the last 20 pages and even then it wasn’t super shocking with what happened, and the aftermath was lackluster.
But, I still enjoyed reading the book, it was a quick page turner for me. And I enjoyed reading about places close to home, they even had a shoutout to one of my best friends wedding venue (where you at MadB).
Anywho, it’s out today, quick lil’ read.
