She was annoying. She is honestly one reason why I've been a bit slow to continue with the series but I heard it gets better and better, so I do want to continue on. I also know some books that earn rave reviews just don't wow me. And I'm sure I rave and rave about a book that leave others underwhelmed too!Tanya @ A Mindful Migrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662395965850097235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-72721802995919255512017-03-14T10:28:26.823-05:002017-03-14T10:28:26.823-05:00I'm waiting on The Girl Before from the librar...I'm waiting on The Girl Before from the library.SMD @ lifeaccordingtostephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884611147965544589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-73757671397017352662017-03-14T09:47:14.373-05:002017-03-14T09:47:14.373-05:00The Girl Before is in my NetGalley queue.

I have In the Woods on my hold list and am excited, but don't really know what to expect.

The problem with that series is that the books get infinitely better around book 4, but they are really best read in order or else the books at the end don't make as much sense. So it's a bit of a time commitment and not everyone likes reading series in order :) My tip would be to stick with it but also, not every book is for everyone!! :) You could always skip to the next book in the series without missing too too much. I always find her books (like many) really improve towards the end of the novel too ;)<br />I'm in the middle of The Girl Before and loving it. I am also reading a book about hygge and finding that fascinating too. I haven't read In the Woods yet, I liked The Likeness but it took me forever to read and I just haven't felt compelled to pursue her other books yet.
