seeing Colleen Hoover applaud the twists on the cover shoulda been a warning for me. was a fun enough ride but basic in so many ways.

Good story line but kind of predictable.  Slow pace IMO.  There is a lot that you learn about each character, it all happens in a matter of days. But you get to see different POVs and that takes a lot of time read how everyone felt over one event that happened.

I enjoyed this book as a lazy Sunday quick read. 

The plot kept me turning the page, but mostly due to needing to know if I had figured it out. I felt I had figured it out pretty early, but did question myself at a point late in the story. 

I enjoyed the various perspectives of each character - I’ve read some felt it was too choppy, but I thought it was cohesive. I think it helped develop the plot well and drop a few breadcrumbs along the way.

The only likable character, IMO, is
Nicole.


I found the writing to be wordy, so a few points feel drawn out more than necessary. 

Overall, I think this book is worth a shot. The chaos of each character and the small town whodunit will keeps you drawn in. You may need to skip a few lines/paragraphs to keep to on track with the story, but it’s worth it.

slogging through a book for the last 20% is crazy

I didn't dislike this book but it also didn't "wow" me. I feel like it was too dragged out for what it was. The constant bickering between the siblings was fine at first but then it became redundant. Overall, wasn't a bad story, just thought it could've been wrapped up quicker.
