Snowflakes by Ruth Ware

DRB Reviews...Snowflakes by Ruth Ware

I often listen to audible while I do chores around the house, garden or drive. Audible is usually where I "read" my non-fiction books. However, Snowflakes popped up on my recommended list. At first I couldn't believe I missed a book from one of my favourite authors...then realized that Snowflakes is a short story.

I had to drive for over an hour so this was a perfect, "devour-able" short story. It was 57 mins in length and I thought a perfect choice.  Many people argue that audio books should not be classed as "books read", but I disagree. Audio books still stimulate the brain in the way reading does, and they provide language nuance, and unique comprehension processing skills as you listen to the modelling of the oral language.

Snowflakes did not disappoint me. I have to admit, I was 75% through the story and was indifferent to the plot; hadn't fallen in love with the story line or the characters. The ending made it all worth it. I find myself still reflecting and contemplating this story, while I still try to understand all the little details that had huge lasting impacts on the characters.  The twists and turns at the end were sharp, jaded and delicious. I definitely turned 365 degrees in aww. 

Ware never disappoints me. Brava Ware for another absorbing story.
