holding my breath

another book by Ruth Ware that doesn't let me sleep or do house chores because i am holding my breath with the characters. she has done it again and the way Imogen reads them is simply amazing

not up to ms ware's usually high standards.

performance was way over the top for my liking. even at 1.2 speed it was too slow and too melodramatic.

So very bad!

I loved One by one and The it girl, and I was impatient for this last Ruth Ware novel. But I found it really, really bad! A totally unbelievable story, drawing out for 13+ hours… I stayed till the end because I did not want to miss any possible, redeeming final twist, but the end was as disappointing as the rest. My recommendation? Stay away from this book and keep your faith in Ruth Ware, she’ll do better next time.
