1.0

Ruth Ware is an instant buy for me. But holy cow this book is bad. It feels like someone’s first novel. Her characters are usually so real & have such depth but not this one. Everyone was annoying with truly bizarre motivations. The “twist” was easily guessed and the pace was entirely torturously slow.
