When two best friends’ hobby of crashing weddings takes a deadly turn, they’re forced to embark on a road trip of survival in this addictive thriller.

“The hairpin turns and killer twists of this propulsive bad-girls-gone-worse thriller will have you hanging on for dear life!”—Layne Fargo, bestselling author of The Favorites and They Never Learn

How well do we really know our friends?

As the only Black women at an antebellum-themed wedding, Kayla and Zorie should’ve known this heist was doomed from the start. They should never have come, but when their financial situation became dire, they agreed to hit one last wedding.

Jaded and cynical Kayla has spent the last decade trying to fix her life since an angsty teen prank led to her arrest. Now, with her housekeeping job at a subpar hotel and her disappointing, Cinderella-esque relationship with her dad and obnoxious stepsister, she hates the life she’s built. Her only bright spots are her best friend, Zorie, and their favorite weekend pastime of crashing weddings to steal the money and pawn the gifts. But what started as a lark has evolved into a greedy obsession, making each wedding haul riskier than the last.

While trying to avoid the angry bride and groom, Kayla and Zorie’s getaway takes a gruesome turn and suddenly the “Wedding Crasher Killers” are national news. The best friends are forced to hit the road to dodge the authorities, but their escape plan leaves behind a bloody trail of destruction from Georgia all the way to the bayou. As past grudges resurface, Kayla realizes that the best friend she thought she knew is more dangerous than she could ever have realized.

Sharp, unpredictable, and madcap from start to finish, Love You to Death is the most fun—and deadly—road trip you’ll ever take.

Critic reviews

“[Dotson] has a fine command of human behavior as well as a droll comic voice . . . a fearless writer who takes her plot and runs with it in a deep, devilish way, offering up plenty of surprising twists. She sustains the tension of Love You to Death through a domino-like cascade of catastrophes, all the way to the bitter end.”BookPage

“Thrilling and unpredictable . . . Dotson keeps readers riveted until the end.”Library Journal

“Part beach read, part satirical comedy, this road trip thriller had me on my seat until the showstopping end. Brimming with sharp, witty characters and outrageously ludicrous circumstances, this debut novel is spectacular because it doesn’t take itself too seriously, while still managing to spin a deliciously gripping tale.”Ms. Magazine

“Wow, what a wild ride! Christina Dotson gives us a modern Thelma & Louise with the murder and mayhem dialed up to eleven. This is a true-blue thriller that pulls no punches, absolutely madcap and laced with mordant humor.”—Ashley Winstead, USA Today bestselling author of Midnight Is the Darkest Hour

I really enjoy this book to the point I have finished this book in 2 days. All I can say is Omg this book had me on edges especially Zorie baby she didn’t play around when it comes to her bestie Kayla. Now Kayla she had a different motives like can she trust Zorie to the point they were on the run and she had to question her friendship with Zorie. I really enjoyed this book because it reminds me of the movie “Thelma and Louise” except they didn’t do too much killing I should say lol but I do appreciate the sisterhood from Kayla and Zorie and how they will be there for each other no matter what.

Thelma and Louise!!!

Love You to Death by Christina Dotson is a gritty, fast-paced thriller that follows two troubled best friends, Kayla and Zorie, as their petty crimes escalate into a violent, cross-country spree. Fueled by trauma, loyalty, and desperation, the pair becomes infamous as the “Wedding Crasher Killers.” Dotson’s debut stands out for its sharp dialogue and psychological depth, though some readers may struggle with the characters’ impulsiveness and lack of redemption. Darkly funny and emotionally raw, it’s a bold, chaotic ride that blurs the line between friendship and self-destruction.
