Not my favorite by this author. Definitely no humor, but the plot was a lot more basic too. A YA version of “You”.

I think this book is okay, the pacing of events could’ve been better and the ending is very sudden but otherwise I think it’s worth reading.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!! I like: -the plot of the story: boy meets girl, boy stalks girl, girl gets revenge -the transition of the POVs switching was actually really good -the descriptions of locations in the book I did not like: -the pace: everything was rushed and a little disjointed,

we went from introduction to murder #1 and then a date that went left at the very end and then murder #2

-who is Sophie to Logan? Obviously not an ex, he was her rebound, their relationship is never established -

I wish Delilah took the librarian drug dealer down at the end, it would’ve been more satisfying

-the ending:

Delilah kills Logan and gets and alibi and then what? where’s the epilogue? I would’ve wanted to see her start at NUS
