A review by jillie
A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

dark mysterious

3.5

Pros:
  • beautiful writing (some of the best i’ve read all year)
  • gloomy, well-crafted atmosphere
  • sweet love story

Cons
  • too short for all of the world building it had - things felt muddled or should have been more in depth 
  • the “twist” (?) wasn’t really a twist & was fairly predictable 

I enjoyed Reid’s writing but wish I had known what this book was actually about before reading it.
