5.0

Ruth Ware has done it again, crafting a compelling mystery with a main character I really felt for. Hannah is extremely likeable and sympathetic, and I understood her need to solve the mystery, even all these years later. I enjoyed the split timeline narrative and had a hard time putting this one down to go to sleep, especially towards the end!

4.5

This is my second Ruth Ware book. I thought the ending was a tiny bit predictable but there was one twist I didn’t see coming that surprised me! I was a little disappointed that

the reader was made to feel sorry for John Neville when he still did superrrr creepy things. No he didn’t deserve to go to jail for that long but he still did very stalkery things.
