2.5
2.5 - This book was fine.
It is nothing I would discourage anyone from reading, but it isn't something I'd reach for when recommending to a friend. I didn't dislike reading it (although I found the main character insufferable), but it's not a story that will stick with me.
As someone into thrillers and true crimes, it was a little too obvious. That being said, if you're looking for a quick read this isn't a bad choice. With this being ruth ware's first novel, I'll probably check out her other ones.
