This was a great read! I finished it in less than a day! The action never stopped and I loved the dual timelines that really connected with each other. The character development was great and the ENDING! The twist was a bit predictable (at least for me) but I still enjoyed it!

Ruth Ware has done it again, crafting a compelling mystery with a main character I really felt for. Hannah is extremely likeable and sympathetic, and I understood her need to solve the mystery, even all these years later. I enjoyed the split timeline narrative and had a hard time putting this one down to go to sleep, especially towards the end!
