I can't decide between 3.5 stars and 4 stars, but I enjoyed this read! I struggled with it a bit, but I enjoyed the ending overall.TW: home invasion, anxiety (panic attacks), substance abuse, lowkey sexual assaultI feel as if this is one of those books that I don't have much to say on. I wasn't the biggest fan of the writing and the beginning was slightly boring, but the ending of the story was thrilling and very clever in my opinion. I was surprised to find a very positive portray of medication...
What can I say about The Woman in Cabin 10? I read it and I'm not mad about it. Elaborating further, it was good, though not a new favorite. It didn't really impact me one way or another. Meh. ((all the shrugs))It can't be denied, there is something very addictive about Ware's writing. For me, the second half of this novel saved it from a 2-star rating. I wasn't really invested at all until the reveal. The reveal itself, as well as the events following it, were much more compelling than the buil...
3.5 stars "There’s a reason why we keep thoughts inside our heads for the most part—they’re not safe to be let out in public." Laura "Lo" Blacklock just won the career lottery - her pregnant boss can no longer attend the Aurora cruise. Instead, her boss sends Lo as the magazine's representative to the maiden voyage. “For a travel journalist I’m worryingly bad at geography.” The ship is full of rich socialites, intrepid reporters and world-renowned rich folks - the perfect people to wine &...
This started out so strong, it was well paced and suspenseful... then it took a turn and got seriously weird and ridiculous.
As soon as I started reading this and posting statuses, I got several replies about how much people did not like this book. I cannot remember getting that much negative feedback about a book on my progress statuses. So, I figured I would either be joining the world in slamming this book, or I would be trying to make my case about how everyone was wrong.Well, I am kinda in the middle.I didn’t hate the book, but it didn’t blow me away. It feels like it was intentionally written to fit in with the
Meh. I enjoyed Ruth Ware's debut a lot more than this one. I found I was expected to suspend my disbelief even more in The Woman in Cabin 10 and I wasn't having any of it. It also felt like a not as good carbon copy of The Girl on the Train. Usually even with all the similarities of thrillers these days, I can find enough originality in the story to feel the author didn't *try* to follow the same formula. That didn't exactly happen here. It felt like the author just replaced a few facts with s...
Thank you Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.I should start by saying I ended up not reading the author's first book, In a Dark, Dark Wood, because someone I know spoiled the whole "big twist" for me. I also should say I wasn't very disappointed as I wouldn't have enjoyed spending all the time invested reading it for another Gone Girl wannabe. I'm getting a little tired of everyone wanting to write the next big hit in the genre, but writing THE EXACT same story with d...
I'm a little conflicted after reading The Woman in Cabin 10. On the one hand, it's a decently interesting mystery. On the other hand, did the main character have to be such a dimwitted lush?Lo is a travel writer, and she's thrilled to be invited on a small luxury cruise as part of her job. But her fun soon comes to an end when she witnesses what seems to be a woman being pushed overboard. The problem is that no passenger is missing, so her alarm is met with mostly indifference. If she wants to f...
I just realized I don't hate myself and therefore will not be completing this. if you look up the word mediocre in the dictionary it’s just a photo of this book. maybe a photo of the opening page because the cover is the only thing about this that isn’t shitListen, this is just about the most generic thriller ever written. Let’s talk about all the shitty ass ways this book copies The Girl on the Train, a 2015 novel that I have an immense distaste for. They have the exact same plot. Lead observes...
