If I want to read about romance, I can easily just pick a book of that theme. The romantic relationships are always subtle or entirely missing, which I liked. On her characters, she uses some similar qualities - all are women in their 20’s or 30’s, their body type is always slim, and they are dark haired, and they or someone they know struggles with substance abuse or possibly with eating disorder. Ware also writes short chapters, which is ideal for me, because I don’t like to leave chapters unfinished, even if they could be too long to read at a one sitting. There are many occasions, where chapters include just the character’s monologue, which kind of works like a recap or explanation on some things. She uses a lot of inner monologue as the driver of her stories - “If someone can do this, it’s you”, “You can take the money if you want”. Now that I have finally read the third Ware book that I purchased, I think, that I have a quite good understanding on Ruth Ware as an author. Design by Dan Mogford and Trevillion Images.
