The It Girl

3.5 ⭐️

This was only my second Ruth Ware but I liked it slightly better than One By One. The academia aspect was interesting and I enjoyed the flashbacks much more than the present day portions. Looking back, I think I just didn't feel like most of the characters were fleshed out enough for me, which made it difficult to feel invested in the outcome. This would have done well with some more revision, it was definitely a bit too long and the pacing was off at points. Overall though, it's a perfectly fine thriller that doesn't sway me one way or the other on Ware's work.
