Publisher Description
A hot, twisty summer debut thriller about a Caribbean bachelorette party that takes a sinister turn. It’s Lord of the Flies meets And Then There Were None...but with Instagram and too much prosecco.
The party of a lifetime is nothing like what they expected...
Annabel, Esther, Tanya, and Chloe are best friends—or were, as children. Despite drifting apart in adulthood, shared secrets have kept them bonded for better or worse, even as their childhood dreams haven’t quite turned out as they’d hoped. Then one day they receive a wholly unexpected—but not entirely unwelcome—invitation from another old friend. Poppy Greer has invited them all to her extravagant bachelorette party: a first-class plane ticket to three days of white sand, cocktails, and relaxation on a luxe private island in the Bahamas.
None of them has spoken to Poppy in years. But Poppy’s Instagram pics shows that the girl they used to consider the weakest link in their group has definitely made good—and made money. Curiosity gets the better of them. Besides, who can turn down a posh all-expenses-paid vacation on a Caribbean island?
The first-class flight and the island’s accommodations are just as opulent as expected...even if the scenic island proves more remote than they’d anticipated. Quite remote, in fact, with no cell service, and no other guests. The women quickly discover they’ve underestimated Poppy, and each other. As their darkest secrets are revealed, the tropical adventure morphs into a terrifying nightmare.
Endlessly twisty, sharply observant, and deliciously catty, She Started It is sure to shock readers until the very end.

Really Good, Needs Trigger Warning
This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I very much enjoyed it. Normally not a big fan of time jumps, but the ones in this book are full of relevant information rather than ramblings that drag things out unnecessarily.
The story keeps you intrigued throughout. Plenty of twist and turns to keep you guessing. Based on the ending, a sequel is definitely in order.
Parts of the story are difficult to read through. A trigger warning about insanely cruel bullying behavior and themes of suicide would be helpful, as the graphic nature of both that is represented in this book could easily be particularly disturbing for some people.
All in all, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it (……but with a warning).

GREAT!!!!
This Isn’t It
Meh. Some good parts but overall waaaay to cruel and over the top in what these girls did to Poppy in the past.
