Holly Jackson is back!! I stayed up late reading this in one sitting bc it sucked me right in and I was determined to learn more: who is Rachel really and do we trust her? This brought back the same thrill and suspense that I loved from A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

The name Rachel Price is almost synonymous with mystery. Because her disappearance was like a puzzle, and it’s human nature to want to solve a puzzle, don’t you think?"

October Bookclub Book 2024

I can finally breath....

Omg...i was flying through this book. I think Holly Jackson really puts something in her books because I could not put it down.

Her writing was so good! The descriptions the way she was able to keep me confused, mislead, panicking? Just like Bel. It was like I was Bel. Trying to figure what the crap was going on! Holly did a great job in making everyone suspicious. You couldn't trust anyone.

Though Bel was annoying... I thought that her trauma responses were great as she tried to figure things out. Made it harder to pin point what exactly happened to Rachel Price.

I didn't however particularly enjoy the ending? Something was off about it and was not into it as I thought I was going to be.

Overall liked it a lot and was very entertained! Another win for Ms. Holly Jackson~

Lots of twists and turns in perfect nature of a Holly Jackson book

Good YA book, if u like aggtm read this, even though nothing compares to aggtm for me, this was really good

I wasnt rooting for ash and bel, his long hair ruined it for me
