Holy shit that epilogue. 
Somewhere in the middle of the book the movie Shutter crossed my mind, and damn I’m good. 😌

Thank you @wednesdaybooks for the PR package and @macmillan.audio for the audio edition . β™‘β‚ŠΛšβŠΉ

πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ Jodi is part of the cool kids club, aka β€œthe thrashers,” the fantastic five-some that everyone wants to sit next to at lunch. But now a girl has died and her journal implicates the thrashers.

πŸͺ¦ Additionally, Emily seems to be haunting them from beyond the grave. Or is it just coincidence that lights are flickering, dreams are nightmares, and anonymous texts are incoming?

πŸ’Ÿ For anyone who loved Heathers (the original Mean Girls movie, est. 1989), you need to read this book! I loved the characters and how they are all morally ambiguous (some more black than grey). Team Julian! 

πŸ““ Bottom line this was such a fun read. It brought me back to high school cliques and all that angst + turmoil. Very bingeable but also worth reading for the deeper underlying themes.

β–ΆοΈŽ β€’αŠαŠ||၊|။||||α‹β€Œβ€Œβ€Œβ€Œβ€ŒαŠ|β€’ 🎧 Eva Kaminsky and Jesse Vilinsky on audio were amazing! Definitely recommend the audio for this one, tormented teens and valley girl drama!

4.5 stars. Thriller with supernatural elements. A good read with good pacing. There needs to be a sequel. Especially after that epilogue! I love Julie Soto. And her ability to just smoothly go between genres and even age audiences is amazing.

I need a sequel. Ate this book up in two days. The mystery keeps the pages turning. Justice for Julian Hollister another morally grey man that has my heart. 

katemc7's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

I REALLY wanted to love this one yall. I REALLY really did because I LOVE Julie, but this book was SUCH a challenge for me. DNF @ 40%. I am all about teen dramas and mystery/thrillers, but I had a REALLY hard time with the bullying in this one. It just was WAY too toxic for me to read comfortably. I didn't feel like I was adequately warned about the amount of heavy topics that would be discussed. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
