I totally didn't realize this was a modern setting so that completely threw me for a loop! I really enjoyed the story though once I got that straight in my head. I was very engaged and the twist early on I did not see coming. This is great as a stand alone book in my opinion!

“That’s the point of it, Bryce. Of life. To live, to love, knowing that it might all vanish tomorrow. It makes me everything that much more precious.”

I have been trying to process this for some hours now and I don’t know how to process it. While yes, I did finish this right before midnight, before Animal Crossing released, could I process this or did I think I would be able to? Maybe but no I couldn’t.

Here I am now, 12pm and I still can’t decide. I don’t know if I want to give it a full 5 or more of a 4.5 but I can’t choose.

This book, the ending of this book, the last maybe 200 pages of this book HURT ME. I was crying a lot. (Chapter 79, and others). This DESTROYED me. And I wasn’t expecting it at all in the slightest. A punch to the feels for sure.

This is my first ever SJM book I’ve read. I decided to start here because it intrigued me more than her other books have. And I’ll say, I’m glad I read it. Will I try her other series? Probably now. I don’t know exactly what has always steered me away from her books but I’ve always been not interested. Now I want to try because this was great.

I liked the characters, I liked the setting, I liked the plot of them trying to solve this crime. It was great. I’m glad I read it.
