Quick question— who WASN’T April fucking? Like, good for her but every time a name got added to the list I couldn’t help but wonder when she had the time. She must have had impeccable scheduling skills.

ANYWAYSSS

It’s entirely possible that I just don’t like Ruth Ware’s writing. This book’s friend group sucked ass (not a moral in sight betwixt them) and not one of them had any reasonable consequences for their actions. I don’t understand the heavily understated obsession with practical jokes or why no one just mollywopped April one good time. There were a lot of red herrings but the ultimate twist was boring and unsurprising.
