Mind fucking good. Highly recommend 

I am used to reading Julie's romance books and was excited to see her release a YA thriller. This felt like an homage to 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and '13 Reasons Why' with some supernatural elements, which I enjoyed. This is a great release for the summer as its a quick read and very compelling right from the start.

I was hooked from page one! This was so well written and kept me engaged the whole time. I was getting Pretty Little Liars vibes, and loved it.

From goodreads -
-Jodi Dillon was never meant to be one of them. Julian, Lucy, Paige, and the infamous Zack Thrasher are rich, sophisticated, and love attention. Jodi feels out of place, but Zack’s her childhood best friend, so she’s in.

Then Emily Mills, who desperately wanted to be a Thrasher, dies—and the whispers about the Thrashers begin. As Emily’s journal surfaces, detectives close in, and Jodi faces an impossible choice: betray her friends or protect herself.

But as eerie messages and strange occurrences escalate, it becomes clear—Emily isn’t done with them yet.-

I think the characters were very well written, and the plot flowed well. It was easy to digest and see where the story line was going. I did half way guess how it would end, but the last paragraph and epilogue THREW ME THROUGH A WALL. My jaw was on the floor with how this book ended.

Ah yes, teen suicide: my favourite subject matter. This one was absolutely brilliant too.

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

Too many pop references, mentioning social media apps like IG, TikTok and calling Twitter ‘X’ is what sealed the deal for me to DNF also dialogue is very childish
