"Ohh that one was not for me…I don’t even know why…too long…plot not that interesting…but maybe you would like it…"

"Pretty drawn out but overall good storyline. The ending wasn’t expected. "

"I either absolutely love Ruth Ware books, or just find them mediocre. This one was the latter. Parts were overly descriptive that distracted from the plot line. The 4 main characters were downright unlikable at times, especially during the flashbacks of their school years. The book had enough of a hook to draw me in and keep reading to find out what their big secret was that they were lying about, but once that was uncovered, the book hit a boredom streak. There were a lot of twists at the end, but it also felt rushed. "
