Holly Jackson has done it again. She is talented at writing twisted YA thrillers/ mysteries. The characters are so complex and well thought out and their relationships have so many dynamics. Rachel Price is such a scary and untrustworthy character. But the more you read the more you realise you can’t trust anyone . I love Bel as the main character. She is so independent and curious. This is such a great book.

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.
