I used to read Agatha like crazy a long back. Then, though I very much forgot most of the reads, remember that her works started to feel largely repetitive. So I stopped. Recently, while scrolling on my TV I saw the movie. Like I saw the movie was there, not actually saw. And recently, while walking through my school library looking for a good book, I saw the book too. Then I thought, why not.

I finished the book in about a week. Which is pretty fast for me nowadays. Even though I'm a speedreader, the fact that the book is hard to put down is important here. Because after reading the novel, that is all I still feel. Nothing more, no wow, no wonderstruck. Just "Oh! It was ___ after all". Is it an OMG must read. Definitely not. I have read more memorable mysteries and would still suggest them, mainly Freida McFadden and some of Karen M. McManus's works. Just that Agatha still doesn't work out for me.

Its just like any other Emily Henry novel... I still like reading this kind of romances, but the plot being predictable greatly affected my interest in the story. That being said, the characters felt again very Emili'ish, Alice Scott a journalist who has too much optimism and a never ending cheer. Hayden Anderson, another journalist, successful one, with calm and a troubled childhood with a lot of expectations. And the cheerful one makes the other cheerful. Yeah thats pretty much it. Margaret's story was very great to be honest. That's the part I liked.
