Zero Days by Ruth Ware
4.25
adventurous dark emotional tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A 4.25 getting close to a 4.5

I was a little cautious at the start as it felt Very Obvious who the ultimate bad guy would be. But I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the why as well as the how when it all started to unravel.
The story is a modern day version of The Fugitive and much like that film is utterly preposterous but very good fun. I liked our main character, Jack and got pretty invested in seeing how she was going to clear her name.

A light, easy and fun reading thriller with a premise that gets you emotionally invested and enough twists and turns to move the story along quickly.
