I’ve read this book in less than 24h. It’s as good as any book by Freida McFadden and I love the fact that she made the plot twist of the plot twist. I really thought that this time I just guessed what really happened but, once again, absolutely not. 

SPOILERS!!!!!

At first I thought this was a Scream lookalike because it’s clearly a slasher thing and there was two guys and all that stuff. I’ve already thought at some point that Margie was not good but just a slight theory like “haha imagine this” BUT this plot twist… I mean… Wow. And not just that but the Josh one being he who killed Shane just the same way Shane did with the girl and all because “he would do anything for his mother”… I think it’s wild.

okay so turns out I didn’t read the rest of the book somehow, and I am in fact shocked by the twist but hate that it happened so late that I was getting bored
