I found this book to be good but a bit predictable. Halfway through I had guesses what happened, but it didn’t take away from the page turning reveal at the end. This is definitely and easy quick read, the characters are well developed and like able and would recommend to anyone! It’s a great mixture of adolescence, love and thrill.

Super enjoyable and honestly a breeze to read. If you aren't super into thriller and mystery and just want a taste this is perfect for you. Highly recommend. The Peacock TV series is also a super fun watch. Just be mindful that the second season ends on a cliffhanger, and the show was NOT renewed for a third season.

Such an addictive reading! I loved every page of it: the mystery, the drama and the characters.
The mystery around Simon's death was interesting, but what got me really hocked were the characters. They all start as you typical clichés — an overachiever, a jock, a prom queen and a criminal — but their development, their POVs and thoughts give them life, a deepness and realness that made me love the Bayview Four and care deeply for them.
I enjoyed the fact that not everyone is without fault in this story, that everything is not as black and white as it seems and that some characters, although flawed or fragile, really develop and grow up.
