The Escape Room by Megan Goldin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Published on July 30th!
I absolutely love playing escape rooms. Usually whenever I have friends in town, I take them to The Escape Game Nashville which has come to be my favorite. So when I had an opportunity to review Megan Goldin’s The Escape Room and participate in her blog tour I was in!
I really enjoyed this book. Although I must admit that I was expecting more in the way of an escape room given the title. While there were some puzzles/clues along the way, the book was more about relationships and dynamics between coworkers in a high powered financial firm. And while I though Megan Goldin did a fantastic job developing the characters (they are all horrible people by the way), I was waiting for more escape room qualities.
Like I said, the characters were all horrible. Don’t get me wrong. They were written wonderfully, but they are not the kind of people that you would want as friends. They’re pretty despicable and it was interesting to see their relationships unravel when put in a high stress environment.
One thing that I probably would have changed is the prologue. Honestly, I think it gave away too much of the fun. I already had an idea in my mind of what was going to happen in the end, and I was pretty darn close. Had the prologue not been there, I think I would have been more surprised by the ending.
Overall, this was a strong thriller and I would recommend it for your summer reading TBR.
I received an advanced copy of this book exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, Megan Goldin, and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to review.
