A very compelling story with a decent twist. I wanted to enjoy the book more than I did, but I found it very difficult to like most of the characters!

Honestly torn between 2.5 and 3 stars for me here. Stumbled upon this book at Mckays and recognized the author from Bright Young Women (which I totally loved). I appreciate what she was trying to do here but it was tough for me to get through this book. I just didn’t love it the way I thought I would
This is the first book that has been hyped as the next Gone Girl that actually lives up to that status. It's a dark Gossip Girl with teeth, but deals with high school "drama" with surprising depth. As in Gone Girl, I most enjoyed "the cool girl" theme and what happens to relationships when you can no longer keep up the facade? And what happens when your trauma is mansplained away or otherwise dismissed?
