“So”—Lisa slides the knife back into the wooden block and straightens up, her blue eyes wide and anxious—“can you help me, Millie?” “Yes,” I say. “I believe I can.”

Okay wow, what a book, everything is just so perfect and the story went so smoothly and fast enough to not get bored.
I probably will not be reading the rest of series since nothing can top this first books and it’ll probably just be repetitive but no wonder why it got picked up for a movie, can’t wait to see that one

While entertaining, this comes across as somewhat dumb. Simple solutions to complex issues, and everything comes together awfully conveniently 🤷‍♀️ 

QUEDÉ LOCA, esos plot twist me dejaron lit en shock, llevaba tiempo sin leer un libro tan bueno y que me hiciera sentir que estaba viendo una película, turbio pero RECOMENDADO

Not what you expect.

This story went a place I did not expect at all!
Loved seeing from different characters’ POVs. I dragged myself reading it but once I started, I couldn’t stop. Honestly hoping for a sequel based on the ending.
