I LOVE this author. She is so great at hooking you in right away but i didnt love this ending. I felt like there was so much story left to hear. I needed Claire to learn the truth about jesse and kat, I needed the world to hear the truth. I t was a great story up until the end. A little easy to figure out but still enjoyable. A nice quick read.

Recommended by a student who is an avid mystery reader. I liked it until three quarters of way through. The unreliable narrator was intriguing. But the "twists" in the last part of the book hit with all the subtlety and development of a sledgehammer. Uneven at best.

I really wanted to love this.

This follows a girl named Claire and the weekend that she can't remember. The first 30% had my attention but I just didn't really find it very thrilling and found myself skimming a lot of it. I'm so disappointed that I didn't love this book.

I heard so much praise for this author's previous books and I think it was still a fine YA thriller.

Thankyou for the publishers sending me this as an ecopy arc

Loved this one. Had multiple theories and managed to mostly figure it out by the end. But still jaw dropped when I got some things right. Mildly annoyed at part of it because it seems to be a theme in suspense books these days…or at least the ones I’ve been picking up.
