The Escape Room by Megan Goldin
3.0
I was interested in the escape room because I read 'The Night Swim' by the same author, I had pretty high hopes. TNS kept me on my seat the entire time I read the book. With that in mind, I was intrigued enough to finish but wouldn't reread.
The story follows in present and past, I am an accountant so the characters intrigued me because we're in the same realm. I can understand the wanting to get revenge when your career gets blacklisted. I just thought it was too strung out. After a while, it became pretty clear what direction the plot was going. It also really didn't the characters a chance to experience the "escaping" of an escape room when all of the clues never really lead to anything. I would have been more invested in learning more about The Circle. Quick read, expected turns taken.
