I loved this book so much! There are some dark themes and some tense moments, but this book is amazing! I wish I could give it higher of a rating than 5 stars.

Editing to add I skipped chapter 35 and picked it back up. It was full of twists and turns and overall wasn't too bad.

DNF at in chapter 35, and there is that one reason why I will DNF a book. I won't say it here for spoiler reasons, but it's literally the one and only thing that I will DNF for.

All in all, I was liking the story, although I feel like it was kind of redundant and a bit too much back and forth for my personal liking. I was reading it for our book club, and it's not my usual style, but alas, I will not be finishing it.

I legit read this book in one day! I am obsessed with this story line! AND THAT ENDING. omg. I was NOT expecting it. As far as I was concerned EVERY character was the killer ;) I give it 5 stars because this has started my love for Holly Jackson books and I will be getting the second one ASAP!
