From the characters to the plot to the setting. And I mean that completely sincerely.Īt the same time, the fact that the content in chapter 72 (which I can’t expand on) is the most brilliant in the book, also tells you how confoundingly boring it is.Īnd I’m sorry but that is seriously all I’ve got because everything about this book is just boring.

I have never seen what was done in chapter 72 executed before (that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been done before, I just haven’t seen it). Thank You to Gallery/Scout Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest reviewĬhapter 72 (I believe I counted right) is the most brilliant chapter ever.

What I’m about to say is absolutely and exactly right. Admittedly, it is also a double-edged sword. How many ways can I that in summary, it is boring? I don’t know how to make a review about boring, interesting, entertaining, or even how to explain it, other than to say that, in fact, and in summary, it is boring. I mean I just don’t know what to say other than how damn boring One By One is. Turn of the Key, along with Dear Wife by Kimberly Belle and The Chain by Andrew McKinty were the first three Adult Psychological Thrillers I ever read. To the point made by #1, Ruth Ware’s One By One is and will easily be the biggest reading disappointment of the year. However, since it made me laugh AND was interesting for all the wrong reasons, I could write an incredibly entertaining salty review.

It was interesting for ALL THE WRONG REASONS. Since it made me laugh, it was interesting. It wasn’t supposed to make me laugh but boy did I laugh.
