And to the unsuspecting reader, the cover is quite creepy and contains no information about the book’s premise, so I figured it was the sort of book that couldn’t give away any information lest it spoil the surprise. Others speak of this book’s suspense, thrills, and mystery. “Just try to guess how sinister this plot can get (hint: VERY),” a review from Marie Claire says. “Prepare to be scared… really scared!” Reese Witherspoon’s review warns. When I chose this book, I had judged it based off the reviews on the cover, which was perhaps my first error, because of course only the best snippets of reviews will be printed on it. But during the weekend, various bizarre conversations and events occur, and if I say much more, it may ruin the suspense of reading the book! This is Ruth Ware’s debut novel, and she’s gone on to write many other thrillers such as The Turn of the Key and The Death of Mrs. Unsure why she was invited because she wasn’t invited to the actual wedding, yet curious all the same, Nora accepts the invite. However, the bachelorette party is for her ex-best friend Clare, who she hasn’t spoken to in ten years. In a Dark Dark Wood is a story about a young woman named Nora who attends a bachelorette party in a cabin in-you guessed it!-a dark, dark wood. The June pick is In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware, and this is my book review! At the beginning of the year, I curated a Slanted Spines reading list for 2020, designating a book for each month.
