The story itself was very intriguing, but I could not stand any of the characters
I LOVE a college mystery so deliciously written, overall just a really fun read

I love when books switch perspective between the past and the present to slowly unfold what happened. I enjoyed the fact that throughout the book you're led to think different people are the killer as the truth slowly comes out
Динамичен трилър, който би се харесал особено много на феновете на “I know what you did last summer” и “How to get away with murder”. От книгите, които не те пускат буквално да се наядеш на спокойствие без да четеш. Крастичка. Не краставичка. Нищо особено като литература, но съспенса ме държеше постоянно. Мотивът и развоят на събитията могат да се предусетят към средата на книгата. Реална оценка 3.5-4⭐️. Припокри ми нуждите за мистерия.

broke the melodrama scale and the silly scale and so naturally I had a great time
- the main character had a very amusing inner monologue and it made the book so much fun - I do think that this slipped a little as the booo progressed but I liked where we started where she’s very smart and self aware and bitchy and narcissistic
- I also like that we kind of saw that in her in the flashback scenes or at least the character progression from what she was to what she becomes makes sense - I do think that in the last third of the book she does lose the more entertaining/defining parts of her character which was annoying
- none of the characters are supposed to be likeable but it’s fun to watch them be horrible
- I did like the plot twist, I personally didn’t see it coming and thought it made sense - but I’m hyper aware that j don’t read this genre very often so I’m sure that it doesn’t take a lot to impress me
- none of these people are actually friends it’s so funny to me
- I don’t think it was the central point of the book and that’s very much okay but I did like the small sprinkles of discussion around the way that higher education is created in a way to serve the already privileged etc - the book doesn’t set out to answer this question so I’m not penalising it for not going into it more but I think we get a bit of this and I liked that
- also, I love it when in books like these ur reading and ur like yeah I totally get why someone would murder you lol - like heather babe I would’ve been gunning for you too
- I think the “haunting the narrative” character is always interesting but I think heather makes for an interesting iteration for this because was she really haunting the narrative? Or was it jacks supposed betrayal?
- I think I’ve discovered a little niche of thriller/mysteries that I enjoy - stories set on university campuses where there’s a group of friends, one of them gets murdered, and then one lf the girls returns years later and we figure out exactly what happened (the it girl followed this plot line too)
- it was very readable - I read it super quickly, it’s definitely an enjoyable read and I also think that the build up and reveal is also very worth it

Really enjoyed this, it was addictive and surprising. I was so happy with the ending for a change of this style of book
Jessica Miller is going back to her college reunion to show everyone how beautiful and successful she is. But someone else has other plans. Ten years ago, Jessica’s friend Heather was murdered. And now that all of the East House Seven (as she and her friends were dubbed) are together again, someone will expose all their secrets in the hopes of catching a killer.
