The It Girl
by Ruth Ware
dark
mysterious
reflective
medium-paced
We got another Ruth Ware! I love her books even when I don't actually love her books. I don't know how to explain it. I did like this book, its mystery (though it felt pretty low stakes) was a good one - it truly had a locked room mystery happening, which I really enjoyed. I think my favorite thing about Ware's books is their sense of place - this one is partially set in Edinburgh, partly in Oxford at a fictional old-timey university, Pelham College, which felt so real and alive, it gave me all the dark academia vibes. My main issues with the book come from the inclusion (I think for the first time in Ware's books) of the MC's husband as a suspect. Spoiler-ish below.
