This book was so good. There was a plot twist around every turn! It kept it interesting and entertaining. I would strongly recommend reading this book, especially if you have read One of Us is Lying by this same author. There might even be a reference, but if you don’t get it don’t worry, it won’t effect the plot or anything. It was kind of like an Easter egg!

The book does not go into detail about the death/murder very much. But if alcohol, car accidents, domestic abuse, gun violence, kidnapping, or death is a sensitive topic, you probably should not read it

Not my favorite by Karen M McManus but def better than You'll be the Death of Me.
I liked the twists and turns and finding out who really was responsible for Mr Larkin's death. I wasn't expecting the whodunnit but I am notoriously bad at figuring that sort of thing out. Also liked the little nod to One of Us is Lying.
My only complaint with her books overall is the lack of diversity.
