This was my first time reading a book by this author so i wasnt sure what to expect even tho i was optimistic during the first chapter but then that died down and i felt disappointed throughout the rest of the book. 

The Characters were interesting to read about. Amber  was definately my favorite. Couldnt stand Warwick's attitude. 

The Setting was OK but not very descriptive. 

The Storyline was too descriptive with not alot going on which is why i rated it 3 Stars. 

Overall an OK Romance but ive rad better!! I'll probably read more by Miranda in the future but i hope not all her books are like this one!!

Rating: 4.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was only the 2nd Novel ive read by Ruth Ware so i kind of knew what to expect even tho each of her books is different from the last. This one reminded me alot of "Friends Like These" by Kimberly McCreight but an older adult version. 

The Characters were so interesting to read about. Leonora "Lee/Nora" was my favorite by far especially since i felt bad for her on how she was roped into the "gaes" even tho she thought she was just going for a weekend getaway with old High School Friends. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in an English Village especially when the scenery was described.

The Characters were so enjoyable and interesting to read about. Calla, Sienna and Rose were definately my favorites especially because of the 3 hardships they had to overcome in the past 7 years.
