One by One

 
“One by One” by Ruth Ware
Published by Scout Press
 
I really wanted to love this one, but I felt it dragged up until probably the last 100 pages and it felt repetitive a good amount of the time.  Some of that is simply because occasionally when the POV changes, you are getting new thoughts about a scene you just read from a different perspective.  That can be insightful, but in this case, I felt it took away from the flow of the storyline and made it drag even more.  Seeing as how this book takes place over just a few days, one would expect it to be a page turner with a lot going on during that short amount of time but there just wasn’t.  Unfortunately, I don’t recommend this one.  I’ve enjoyed other books by Ruth Ware and have more on my bookshelf, so this won’t be my last book by her, but it definitely wasn’t my favorite.
