Most of the characters are whiny and entitled, and I was hoping they would all die! Erin and Liz are the only two characters who were developed, but they both fell flat for me. Some are only distinguished by hair color, others have no distinguishing qualities or features. Some of the characters just fall off and are barely mentioned again, while others play a more prominent role. There are too many characters to keep track of, none of whom I really cared enough about to pay much attention. Issue #1: The number of characters and lack of development. I am going to limit my gripes to my top 5 issues. I had a lot of issues with this book and was constantly questioning if Ruth Ware actually wrote it. When a natural disaster occurs, the group must fight to survive, but there’s a murderer amongst them, making it difficult to do so. Alliances are formed, and the atmosphere is rife with tension.

Chapter one starts ten years later when she’s on her way to a duke’s masquerade ball where her friend is supposed to be announced as his fiancee. As expected, the two friends will make up the main characters of the other two books in this series. To help her feel better, her two best friends reveal their own tragic secrets. We start with a tragic prologue where Alexandra is attacked by her school headmaster, defends herself, and then needs her friends to assist her in covering things up. As expected, there was a huge amount of drama and emotional turmoil in this book. ![]() ![]() How To Love A Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne (2019) I recommend reading this one in order since you find out about our three friends’ backstory in the prologue of Book 1.
