This book kept me guessing for the very beginning. Obviously, I knew Rachel would show up at some point, but the way she did and the drastic impact her resurrection had on the entire family threw me off. I followed Belle's doubt the whole way, because she made SENSE. The family secrets are top notch to the point I never suspected one after hearing another... Belle has severe abandonment issues, and I appreciated her processing those throughout the story. 

The audio narration is done very well with clear distinction of who is speaking when. Highly recommend listening to this, and it was my first book by Holly Jackson.

here's the thing. i ADORE the way holly jackson writes mysteries, they're so carefully planned and well thought-out and seeing the pieces come together to form the solution is very satisfying. #1 author that makes me wanna go it's always sunny pepe silvia meme halfway through the book <3

however. the idea that

the fallout from the revelations of the novel's climax could get so easily and neatly wrapped up into a happy ending with a bow on top

just makes NO DAMN SENSE TO ME

I rate this a 4 star, purely because I didn't get the connection with the main character. I felt the swearing was overwhelming, and the main character, bel, to be quite insufferable. (Obviously I get she has a right to be, due to the shit show her life is but still) 
The plot was very well written and I loved the ending, which was very conniving.

Omg, Holly Jackson did it again! Another twisty, delightful read. It kept me wondering, even though I did guess a few things.
