I finally got my hands on this one and it was absolutely worth the wait. this wasn’t even on my radar until every bookstagrammer was hyping it up - the my library had a 20 person hold list. the hype is well-deserved!

I love the format of this book. It’s written in multi-media form; via tv transcripts, newspaper articles, and more. I also loved how many twists and turns there were. sometimes it did become a bit confusing to keep the story straight, but I caught on eventually. I read some SG reviews that said the ending was too predictable, but I didn’t predict the FINAL ending.. I thought it was the initial person (iykyk). I really enjoyed this one overall and finished it in under 24 hours!

highly recommend if you love a who-dun-it! I’d suggest checking out the content warning ahead of time!
