The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz

4.0

I devoured this one in just a couple of days. Yes, there were some aspects of it that were predictable. But there was enough surprise in it, overall, to make up for the predictability. I loved the premise of the story. It’s giving me The Shining vibes…but so much more intricate. It’s even more impressive when you consider that this is a debut novel.
