But she’s invited to the bachelorette with a couple other randos? Like Clare has no other friends? That email would have been deleted from my inbox so fast. A person whose wedding she’s not even invited to. A person she hasn’t talked to in a million years. To top it off, Nora, in all her pining away sadness, agrees to a strange invitation to attend her former best friend, Clare’s, “hen weekend”. “I have not spoken to him for ten years, but I thought of him every single day.” I just need a headcount and to tell you to get over it! Find a man (not a boy) that knows how to work a G-spot and make you dinner, and you’ll be over that high school flake in no time. I won’t judge, despite what this review might suggest. How many grown-ass women are out there decidedly becoming Bridget Jones-esque spinsters because their high school sweetheart peaced-out during a difficult time in their life? SHOW OF HANDS PLEASE. But how does someone never move on, like at all? Has she ever had sex with someone else? Gone on a date? It’s just so… weird to me. Come on! Ok, sure, it was a messy breakup, he broke her heart into a million tiny teenage girl-shaped pieces and she never got closure. She’s 26 years old and still pining away for the boyfriend she had when she was 16. The main protagonist, Nora, is a fucking loser. This is an atmospherical oddball psychological mystery suspense novel that I liked, and at the same time, I fucking hated? Like I’m so torn. All thoughts and opinions are mine alone.Filed Under: The first time Reese Witherspoon lied to me *Traveling With T purchased this book for her own reading.

Also, further reminder of WHY I will not be going to the middle of the absolute NOWHERE for a friend get-together. A phone line that mysteriously quits working.

In A Dark, Dark Wood def has appeal- but it’s def not my favorite. I’ve liked some way better than others- and all that I’ve read (I still have to read Turn of the Key) have been somewhere in the “good” category- some are just better than others. I’ve honestly been hit and miss with Ruth. And so I grabbed In a Dark, Dark Wood to read at a later date. Over the summer I realized as I was walking through Target that I had all but one of Ruth Ware’s books. Is this a chance for Nora to finally put her past behind her?Īnd in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare’s hen do arrives.
