April 2020: 4 stars - This was exactly the kind of fun read I was in the mood for! It became a lot more heartbreaking than I thought it would be, though, and I ended up being much more invested than I'd predicted at the start as well. I can't wait to read book 2 when it comes out in June!

This is a super fast-paced story with a deadly mystery element, and a cute queer romance. But don’t be fooled, it does take a darker turn than I expected, so consider checking the trigger warnings beforehand!
While I love a fast-paced story, I did find it almost a little too fast at some points. I think this book could’ve benefited from being a little longer! The characters seemed to move on a little too quickly from some of the very serious plot points, and I would’ve loved a bigger focus on the consequences.
Similarly, the romance moved a little too quickly for my liking. But as it’s only a side plot, and both characters are very lovable, it didn’t affect my enjoyment! It was lovely reading about a mostly uncomplicated sapphic romance for once!
Overall, I liked the characterwork and their dynamics, and the abundance of LGBTQ+ characters was wonderful! Hannah can be a bit frustrating at times, though. She’s horrible at communicating, and the mystery probably would’ve been resolved a lot quicker if she had communicated better.
The mystery itself was a little predictable, but I did have a few different theories throughout the book, and the reveal was satisfying. Although not a perfect read, I’m stoked to get to the sequel!
