I read a lot of psych thrillers and this one wasn’t my favorite. The twists were pretty predictable leading up to them and I much prefer when the voice of the story has at least some redeeming quality, Amb did not at all.

Just ok, would necessarily recommend, but it wasn’t a bad read.

The Girls Are All So Nice Here… yet interesting none of the girls in the book are likeable at all. We all know girls can be ruthless in their own ways, not necessarily violence but the ability to bully someone emotionally. This book is dark. The extreme measures in order to gain an upper hand, the selfishness and the need to stand out among the crowd in college is what we will get from this book. Nothing like the fluffy girl best friend or girl power or whatsoever. This is a twisty dark book and I absolutely devoured this book!

The chapters alternate between two timelines and I was intrigued. The toxic friendships, worst decisions of college years. Someone has to pay for what they did 10 years ago. Twists after twists. All the revelations shocked me- had me guessing till the very end. No joke. How good is this author! The ending deserves a standing ovation 👏

A solid thriller, one that's well-plotted and keeps you on your toes. That said, I never found myself particularly invested in the characters' outcomes and was weirdly... unsatisfied (?) by the ending. I'm not sure what to make of it!
