C’est le deuxième livre que je lis de l’autrice et c’est encore une fois une bonne découverte ! Elle me confirme l’idée que j’aime beaucoup les thriller young adult

Incredibly boring. I was reading with my mom and could only make it to chapter 5 of pure torture. Everything was so drawn out, it was frustrating. By chapter 5 I feel like I should have enjoyed the characters somewhat. I should have cared about them a little, no? How has nothing been revealed about any of them? I understand this is supposed to be a mystery novel, but you need to give the reader something in order to build a bit of intrigue - as it stands I could not finish it, and I have no desire to finish it either. Currently, I would rather do absolutely anything other than have to learn more about the Storys.

Ay, this is a twisty one!
This might be my second favorite Karen M. McManus after One of Us Is Lying! I definitely can't remember Two Can Keep a Secret very well and I do remember One of Us Is Next in that I remember how damn boring it is.
So it was a bit refreshing to enjoy the characters and twists almost as much as I enjoyed those in One of Us Is Lying! I thought the story setup was a good setup for a murder mystery along the lines of Clue or Knives Out, so I was glad to find that this is not a murder mystery!
The ongoing game of, "That person ain't who you think they is!" was particularly fun and made for some truly gasp-worthy reveals.
Unfortunately, where this lost points was the impact of those twists and reveals after I had a moment to chew on them for a moment. It was still really fun, but ultimately it didn't feel like those twists were as game-changing or impactful as similar twists were in One of Us Is Lying.
That all said, this was extremely fun and was absolutely a step up from McManus's last two works. Good stuff!

It takes About 100 pages to get to the good part but when it’s at the peak of the book it’s really interesting also they’ll author ended it quite badly it had a lot of unneeded chitter chatter that it kind of ended the book on the bad note and changed the overall rating a bit lower
