This was meh for me. I feel like April’s character had much more opportunity but it wasn’t explored, as well as Hannah’s guilt. Emotional reaction to events was glossed over for theatrics. Which some people love, and it is a thriller, but I didn’t like it. It was entertaining and easy/fun to read, though. I love Ruth Ware, but this one wasn’t a hit for me.
