There are a lot of characters and switching between them. I needed a while to get back into the story and recall more details about the characters. To me this book is not as good at the first book. It's entertaining and keeps you guessing, but is a bit too farfetched.

I'm not entirely sure how to rate this one.

Compared to One of Us Is Lying, it took me way longer to read. It just couldn't pique my interest quite as easily. Imo, the characters were less developed, steered more towards the chick lit genre and the events happening were perhaps a bit improbable?

So good. Lots of twists and turns and unpredictability, which was surprising me considering the first book felt predictable.

Where it fell short:
It was slower paced than what I generally prefer in a mystery/thriller. Things were happening but I felt the plot could’ve moved forward faster than it did. I enjoyed each time I picked it up though and it’s easily a 4.5⭐️ for me!
