4.0

This one felt eerily similar to In My Dreams I Hold a Knife plot-wise, and while I gave that one 5 stars there was something missing in The It Girl for me. I pretty much love everything Ruth Ware writes, but this book just felt super slow to me and the motive felt a bit weak. The ending is really where this story struck gold - I had my suspicions and was super thrilled to be proven right! However the amount of times Ware and our narrator made me question so many characters got a little irritating. In the end another solid who-done-it mystery by Ware, I did enjoy it despite some misgivings.

This was a great read! I finished it in less than a day! The action never stopped and I loved the dual timelines that really connected with each other. The character development was great and the ENDING! The twist was a bit predictable (at least for me) but I still enjoyed it!

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!
