First time reading Ruth Ware. I downloaded this as an audiobook buddy read with my husband on a road trip. Even playing at 1.25 speed, I found it long winded and a lot of moments repetitive. The overall mystery was just okay but I think the audiobook format really had me rolling my eyes through this. I think if I'd been reading it myself I would have read a bit faster and derived a bit more enjoyment from it as a light, easygoing mystery, but as is, it was too overdrawn and took us weeks to finish.
