What I loved more than anything else about this book was the characters. The characters were so fun, and I loved watching them unravel as the book went on. There was a lot of characterization and growth done in a short amount of time which is impressive with how well it is done. The mystery itself is fun, and I liked the twist. I wouldn't say that this one was filled with shocking twists, but it was really about these characters dealing with witnessing a murder and being murder suspects. I highly recommend if you want a good read that can easily be done in a sitting!

Pretty fast paced but doesnt get real until the second half of the book. I found this really enjoyable and found myself slowly getting attached to the characters. PLOT TWISTS ARE EVERYTHING.
