4.0

I never really read mystery and psychological book this fast. It made ne weary because my imaginative mind rendered the setting up close. The descriptive writings are excellent because I could feel what the main character felt. I will try to read more of Ruth Ware's books.

3.0

I wanted to see what happened at the end of this one, but I had a hard time getting into it. It felt too long, but the beginning also felt too quick; the action started before I could get to know Lo as a character, so I never really developed sympathy or a connection to her. I also felt like she was kind of terrible at common sense and any sort of decision-making. Weird stuff going on? Better drink a whole bunch. Saw a weird thing? Better harass everyone about it until they're positive that you're unstable. Important object? Better just leave it lying around for housekeeping to throw out. She was almost too annoying to root for. Also what the living hell was that

whole assault scene

that was brushed off like nothing?? That was not okay! Knocking my rating down another quarter point for that.

On one hand, the mystery was interesting, the thrilling bits intense, and the structure was fun. Having mixed media from the future opening each section was a nice choice for suspense building.

On the other hand, although realistic, alcoholic characters are boring to read. Congrats, half your problems are directly your fault, and I don't feel sorry for you at all.

I really don't get the harsh reviews for this one. Perhaps because I have not read Ware's other novels? That while I can dislike characters, I can become entranced by a good thriller? Either way, I consumed this in one sitting. My heart racing and eager to discover the conclusion.
