emilyisoverbooked 's review for:

Zero Days by Ruth Ware
2.0

Thanks to Gallery/Scout Press for the copy of this book.

Touted as Mr. and Mrs. Smith x The Fugitive, I was excited to read this even though spy books are not always my favorite. I also really enjoyed Ruth's last book, The It Girl.

Zero Days unfortunately fell pretty darn flat. While there was a lot of action, I was somehow still bored and thought it was incredibly predictable (aside from one very random twist thrown in there). There was A LOT of book left after the major twist was revealed and there were quite a few unbelievable moments in the book leaving me saying, "really?!" and kind of wondering how Jack ever got hired as a pen tester. I'll still read more Ruth Ware in the future, but this one wasn't for me.
