A review by booklistqueen
The It Girl by Ruth Ware

dark mysterious medium-paced

4.0

 April was the first person Hannah met at Oxford, and they quickly became inseparable with their group of friends until April was killed. A decade after April's murder, Hannah learns that the recently deceased convicted killer may have been innocent. With a journalist probing for details and the murderer likely still out there, Hannah reconnects with her old friend group to uncover their long-buried secrets.

Ruth Ware is one of my favorite mystery writers and, having read all her books, I can tell you that The It Girl does not disappoint. Ware's excellent writing makes up for the fact that the story is your standard dark academia prep school murder mystery. Even though the modern timeline is on the slow end, it didn't seem to drag. If you want a solid summer thriller, Ruth Ware is definitely the way to go.
