Good morning!
Look at me, being on top of things and hitting a second book out of my Summer TBR 👏🏼
4 / 5 stars
The boat atmosphere oddly made me imagine a twist between Tintin’s « la licorne » (from the secret of the unicorn) and Titanic. Although the Aurora is definately a more high-class environment.
I loved that the book starts on a thrilling excerpt of the book- that we will understand where it slips into the story later on. There’s also inserts between the telling of the story from later dates, such as emails and news excerpts, which tell us where the story inevitably will be heading to.. only we don’t know the “how” it will get there.
Laura, or Lo, was nice to read; as we follow her from a dramatic incident as the novel started, and get to see the repercussion that event had on her mental health. We will see later on how she’s a « damaged individual », with demons rather the similar as mines.
This has been my third book that I’ve read from Ruth Ware (two of which was in english), and I gotta say that she’s growing to be one of my favorite author! I loved everything that i’ve read from her so far, and I definately need to grab more.
This is one author that I want to try!!!! Great review Kristina.
I would highly recommend her!! She managed to make me cry with this one, a thriller.. ;-; And reading the synopsis, I wasn’t too sure about this one either.
