Overall, I liked it. I was interested to see how it would end. I was pretty sure I knew who did it before the "reveal", but it wasn't overly obvious. I didn't figure out how everything fit together, however, and that kept me reading and wondering until the end. I loved the character development of Monica and her relationship building with Ginny.

I loved the book it constantly had my attention. There was so many plot twists and cliffhangers! And I kept thinking how great a movie this book could be. And it was good because it wasn’t written as only scary or mysterious, real life aspects and perspectives were sprinkled in
