My first ever Agatha Christie book! I had no idea what to expect as I'm completely unfamiliar with this genre and I've never even watched any of Agatha Christie movies. But this book pleasantly surprised me. I was a bit irritated by the main character because of the way he portrayed himself (he came off as pretty silly at times) but I was still very drawn to the characters. Hercule Poirot was also very fun and interesting character and I look forward to reading more from the series.

I was only a bit disappointed by the ending. The plot had reached its climax and they were revealing the culprit and all of a sudden it skipped time to the aftermath of the whole incident and retells the great reveal of the culprit as a boring narrative.

Other than that, the book was really great. An 8/10 for me and I look forward to reading more from Agatha Christie.

This book was very enjoyable. I grew up knee-deep in Kpop culture but being on a plus-size side, I always felt discouraged and frustrated about my appearance. Being in an Asian environment didn't help either. This book called out to my 15 year old self who was beating herself up for her weight. Skye is someone any teenager can aspire to be, true to themselves and unapologetic about it. I love her. The romance is a bit cliché but that's what I loved about it. Henry is supportive and a gentleman throughout and I loved how Skye never once questioned her worth to be with him, because I feel that's an issue my young self had. Overall a very easy read that made me smile.
