2.0

One of my least favorite Christie's. I hated most of the characters and

the only character I kinda liked George was straight up murdered. Which made me lose my interest in this altogether.

If this was any longer I could've dnfed it. I didn't like Iris either. I read this since it was recommend by many people and I was disappointed. The female depictions in this are quite terrible as well. It honestly felt like it was a male writer's book since it was so full of male gaze and misogyny. I really didn't like this.
