It is with a heavy heart that I inform you my girl Ruth Ware is in her flop era. Not everything is bad - Imogen Church is back as the audiobook narrator and she’s fantastic. There are a few scenes that are really fun and inventive I thought, and it’s a very fast-paced thriller if that’s what you’re in the mood for. That said, this book pretends it’s a mystery for 60% of the book, but it is *not*. The MC basically speaks to one other character, so guess whodunnit?! The first 60% should have been 40% tops. And the ending… my girl! Ruth! No!! She used to be unafraid to give us less-than-happy endings and now this HEA trope bs? No! No ma’am!
