Ummmm!!! It was a pretty good read! Now I wouldn't have went as far as Claire did because that was a bit much lol. Just tell the truth and move on with it! And Nora can say it was about a breakup all she wants but ma'ma we all know it was about a lost pregnancy! Still 10 years is a long time to have not have healed from all that from 15/16 why didn't you think of GETTING HELP MA'MA! this was the most far-fetched story I have read in my life lol. It was a good read no doubt but it was a bit much lol. Flo was really weird and odd and I didn't understand how she didn't see that Claire wasn't just using her! I would have went home as soon as Claire went oh I'm marry James! Because why am I invited to your "Hen" and not your wedding lol nope! If I can't come to one I'm not coming to the other! Just a wild storyline! And nah!! And idk who just doesn't noticed and react to their phone just missing nah! We getting up and finding that now! Because yall playing with me at this point!

But got little afternoon read if you not really expecting anything Jaw dropping and omg! Toss the book across the room great!

I've read nearly every book by Ruth Ware at this point, and it's only because I've been so stressed and overwhelmed recently that I can't spare the brain space for anything more complicated. I need Ms. Ware's super repetitive writing that reminds me of details several times, so that I can zone out a good bit. I was really surprised how many lists this book was on. I mean, this was fine. I did want to know what happened in the end. I predicted the villain pretty early. I also found the MC extremely annoying. And why is it so hard to get a MC who isn't a precious little size small with size 6 feet like a fourth grader. Like my god, why is a female writer trying to make her protag the smallest that a woman can be? I do appreciate that Imogen Church does her very best with the text though, every time.

Not my favorite from Ruth Ware. I think this is her first, so that makes sense. It was definitely a page-turner, but none of the characters were compelling.

This book should be renamed "An extended explanation of Chekov's gun"
