I enjoyed everything else o read by this author, so I thought I’d give this a try. However, I was mostly disappointed. It felt more like building a rich kid boarding school world as opposed to an actual mystery, and I guessed correctly at pretty much all the mysteries very quickly. I still couldn’t stop listening, so there’s that, but it just didn’t quite work for me.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I enjoyed The Obsession so I was looking forward to The New Girl. I enjoyed this a lot, and really liked that it was a fast paced read. I found this to be quite an interesting concept, it just needed to be fine tuned a little bit. I liked that there were some really unexpected moments in this. However, the characters were somewhat unbelievable and I found it hard to relate to them for the most part.
