I really enjoyed this book! It was twisty and suspenseful, and I also loved the fact that the main character wasn’t sure what had happened the night her best friend died, and whether or not she was the one who murdered her. The unreliable narrator is always a great addition to a book, but the way this one was set up just really made it that much better This book was full of a lot of dark humor, as well as some great twists I didn’t see coming, and was overall just really enjoyable read!

I don't think I've ever given a thriller 5 stars before, but here we are. This was funny, gripping and addicting. I feel the ending may have been a tad rushed, but not enough to knock it down a star. Grandma is the best!! <3
