This book was like a mix between Pretty Little Liars and Thirteen Reasons Why with an ode to those who live or grew up in Sacramento. It really has you hooked from the very beginning with a who done it feels. I can't wait to see if there will be a sequel to this, or if this is how the story ends.

4 ⭐: Thank you so much to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this ARC! This was such a unique take on a mystery/thriller novel! This was very much so 13 Reasons Why meets Riverdale meets PLL, a very teen-esque high school friend group clique undergoes investigation kinda book. I have never read anything by Soto, which surprised me because I need to read more! Since this was Y/A, I felt like 4 stars made sense, but if it were a regular thriller, it may be lower in my eyes. As a thriller lover, this had gaps in the pacing that lost my interest, and the 3rd person POV also was a factor I didn't love, but the story was well done. Highly recommend you listen to this one on audio, too!
