What could have been better?
The end was abrupt to me and just rushed. I feel like it took a bit for me to get hooked and then when I did get hooked it was over. I just ended up disappointed.

What I did like?
The premise of the story was great and, overall, the story was interesting, and had some twists that I can appreciate. It had interesting characters and did keep me guessing throughout the book. 

Honestly, I think a lot of people would enjoy this book, it just wasn’t my favorite. I don’t know what it is about Ruth Ware?? Maybe her formula isn’t for me? But, again I’ve only read three of her books. So, maybe I haven’t read her best?
