I wanted to like this more than I did. The mystery is OK for the most part, but I spent the first 3/4 of the book rating it a two for being sluggish and too long, and then redeeming it to three stars for the twisty final 1/4. But there were discrepancies and repeated wording and a plot hole or two that bugged me and wished the author had had a better editor.

Dragged on in parts and maybe I’ve read too many similar books but found it somewhat predictable.

Rating might've been higher if I hadn't figured out who did it pretty quickly and if Hannah hadn't been so annoyingly stupid. All in all, it was okay.

Good armchair mystery! Ruth Ware delivers a good one as usual! Kept me on the edge of my seat.

*Audiobook Review*

A clever, but quite lengthy story of an "It" girl and her posse. Retold in Hannah's perspective of before and a decade after the murder of her college roommate. Lulled for some time midway through, but certainly picked up pace again, especially as the story began to reveal more secrets and surprises.

About 100 pages too long and for how oblivious the main character was for the entire book, she figured out who the killer was awfully fast in the end.
