Could just be me. Could be timing. May try again in the future but just not really sinking in and I don't really care

Blind Spot by Paula Hawkins

This was ok - check the trigger warnings. It did the job of needing the dopamine hit of finishing a book in under 1.5 hours (my focus has been all over the place and this helped overcome that a bit). 

Characters not that likeable, which was fine, but I really didn't like Edie at the end and her attitude towards Lara - really disappointing reaction. Ruined it for me a bit. 

This was an ok read. Probably worth it but if it had been a full length novel with the same plot and ending, just more fleshed out, I would have been disappointed.
