Book Review: The It Girl

A woman holding a phone with The It Girl by Ruth Ware

Share

Ruth Ware is one of my favorite authors, and it seems like she just keeps getting better with every book. One by One was one of my favorite reads of 2021, and now The It Girl tops my list for 2022.

I always listen to Ruth Ware books because her narrator, Imogen Church, is my all-time favorite audiobook narrator! You can snag the audiobook here.

The “It Girl” is April Clarke-Cliveden, the first person our main character Hannah Jones meets as a freshman at Oxford. April is one of those people who makes every head turn when she walks in a room, and her magnetism is nearly impossible to resist.

Unfortunately, April doesn’t make it to sophomore year. When her convicted murderer dies in prison a decade later, a young journalist challenges everything Hannah thought she believed about April’s murder. Could her husband—who was first April’s boyfriend—be the key to unlocking what happened that night?

Hannah finds herself sucked back into April’s orbit as she searches for the truth. Was the right man convicted? Or was April hiding something that gave someone else a motive? Someone they all know.

Per usual, Ware will keep you guessing to the end on this one. The It Girl is yet another must-read (or rather, must-listen!) from one of my favorite authors.

The hubby @seegreatart and I took a road trip to F The hubby @seegreatart and I took a road trip to Fort Pierce, FL this weekend to see the latest Florida Highwaymen exhibition at @aebackusmuseum. 🎨 

My hubby has written extensively on the Florida Highwaymen, and we are lucky to get to see so much of their work here in Florida. This group of more than two dozen African American painters captured the Florida landscape in bright, vivid colors from the 1950s on. They could often be found selling the paintings out of the trunks of their cars. 

You used to be able to nab these paintings in garage sales around the state from people who didn't know what they had. However, those days are long gone. Now, these paintings can go for tens of thousands.

One of the original Highwaymen, Roy “R.A.” McLendon, was in attendance last evening. How work hangs in the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture.

Have you ever seen these paintings around FL?

The woman blushed and seemed embarrassed that Lucy had caught her looking through the shelf. "Do you have Hydrangeas on Hill Street?"

"I do." Lucy nodded, moving to the left of the woman and plucking the title off the shelf. "I read it when it first came in. It's a lovely book."

"I feel a little silly." The woman opened the book and turned it so Lucy could see the author photograph on the back flap. "It's my first book. I still get a little thrill every time I find it in a bookstore." Her cheeks still flushed pink, her eyes not meeting Lucy's.
