This book got so confusing. Almost like Ms. Ware wrote herself into a corner, and then had to get really creative to make everything kind of work out. Also, I feel like the whole plot point about Hal owing a bunch of money to the creepy guy was just not really resolved? Truly, it's my own fault for continuing to read books that I'm not really into haha

Out of the 3 Ruth Ware books I’ve read, this is easily my favorite and also her most like-able characters so far.
