Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - The It Girl

this book just reminded me why I love thrillers so much. I would absolutely recommend if you like the trope of citizen turned detective to investigate the past murder of someone close to them.

I loved the usage of third person in this book--it was so well written that I actually still felt like I was reading from Hannah's perspective, without first person.

I also truly could not have guessed the outcome of this book.

Like I'll be so fr with you I thought it was Will up until Hannah herself knew it was Hugh.

Ware did a magnificent job of planting a variety of seeds that would divert your attention just enough to keep you on your toes about how the story would end.

The only reason why I won't give this book 5 stars is because I feel like the buildup was a little too slow for my taste. I would love to reread this book knowing the outcome so I could try to play detective and see more clues, but alas it was a little slow and there are too many other books in the world that I am dying to read!! and now I'm gonna go pick up some more thrillers ;-) byeeee

I would have rated this much higher at the beginning. I thought it was going to be 4 or 5 stars but it got quite repetitive and the reasons for the main character’s actions became more and more unbelievable, especially for a pregnant woman. Enjoyed the book as an easy read and a page turner but I don’t think it’s going to stick in my mind.

It’s just really slow and the story is not really compelling until the main climax.

Good mystery, compelling writing. Didn’t guess the twist. Not the main storyline but captures the maddening, sad feeling of being a woman made uncomfortable by men and not being taken seriously or listened to.
