High school mystery, plot twist, revisiting old trauma

Pretty good story, didn't see this twist coming the way I did with Thomas's other book That Weekend

good compelling mystery and it was well and satisfyingly resolved at the end. i enjoyed the book but it dealt with a lot of heavy subject matter and was quite a difficult and dark read for a YA title

this book was okay-ish.
some of the decisions made seem really unreasonable and unrealistic.  like Tom all of a sudden complying and telling Monica about the investigation when he swore not to and said he never would. idk it doesn’t make sense to me. the way it’s written was super confusing and honestly hard to follow. it wasn’t terrible but i also didn’t enjoy it whatsoever either.
