PLEASE READ THE CONTENT WARNINGS.

This book was everything I wanted, fast-paced, trust-no one, teenage drama, almost gory in places murder mystery with such a satisfactory ending. It's DARK, and twisty, but held my attention the entire time.

I found that this book tried to deal with too many things so it didn't give any of them enough attention. The mystery didn't feel particularly compelling, and I didn't particularly like the main character.

In the first few pages,

main character is getting an abortion. Is already in the process of it at the start of the book so we don't see the doctor's appointment, but we do see the effects of the pull
