This book would have been so much better if I hadn't gotten the twist spoiled for me. So I will review it like I didn't know the ending at all.

This was freaking enjoyable. Where the clues to the mysteries were very obvious -and I'll go more in-depth on that- how interesting all the characters were stepped up to meet it. I didn't continue reading this book because I wanted to solve this mystery, I read this because I liked all of the characters and was invested in their story. All of the four main characters had something unique and relatable about them, a struggle they were going through. And even the side characters were great. By halfway into this book I was more invested in their lives going well than in the mystery being solved.
The clues weren't that greatly hidden, at least for me. I think maybe they were meant to be obvious, and the characters were so distressed they couldn't easily connect them.

Y'ALL I'M OFFICIALLY OBSESSED-
I loved this book so much. it kept me entertained from start to finish. I'm completely obsessed with Nate and Bronwyn, and I also really like Cooper and although I didn't really like Addy in the beginning (because her entire personality revolved around her boyfriend), she had amazing character development by the second half of the book and became a badass.

I was trying really hard not to get attached to any of the characters for obvious reasons but it was inevitable to me.

I was constantly changing my opinion on my suspicions and I was sooo scared that I wouldn't like the ending because I was having so much fun with this book, but I actually liked the ending, it was satisfying to me.

can I just say, again, that I absolutely love Nate and Bronwyn? yeah, cause I was obsessed with them. 😩❤️

I can't wait to read the second book.
