The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz
3.25
dark mysterious
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No

While this was entertaining, I just wasn't wowed by it. It seemed familiar to me, but I'm not sure why because I don't know what I would compare it to. The story is interesting, but I felt let down by the ending. None of the characters are likable; I genuinely didn't care what happened to any of them. The setting is moody, but I feel like more could have been done with it. The writing was a redeeming factor here.
