The It Girl by Ruth Ware was one of my most anticipated reads. I love this author's writing style. I also love that the author takes a stab at dark academia which is a favorite with her brand of psychological thriller. I particularly loved the the before sections set during the main character's days at Oxford. I wouldn't quite call this one her best but it's still a must read if you're a fan her work. As always, I'm looking forward to seeing what Ruth Ware does next. ...more

Hannah as the awkward student who is befriended by rich and glamorous April and as the young, pregnant wife a decade later,who is struggling to let go ...more

Another traveling book down, and this one was just okay. I feel drawn to mystery/thriller books, and I have been wanting to read Ruth Ware for awhile. I read another of her books several years ago, and even though this one was just okay, I have more of her books that I am planning on reading.

The book brings duel timelines, as the main character is challenged with the idea that an incident that happened earlier on in her life isn't all that it seemed to be, the wrong man may have been convicted, ...more

The great RW does it again. Fun thriller you hate to put down. Thought I had it figured out a few times but she was always steps ahead to make me rethink and keep going! Cheers to the author who I put on autobuy and got me back to reading after finally my kiddo got old enough I could relax a bit!
