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

i wanted to like this one but honestly it’s was just okay in every way. it was really promising at first but the ending kinda disappointed me. especially because it was left on a cliff hanger. not one of the clique “to be continued” one but Delilah just walked away from a conversation and then i flip the page and there’s the acknowledgments. it felt really out of place to just end the entire book with no final conclusion. you don’t find out what happened to Delilah, if she got arrested, moved to college, confessed to Aisha or what. So it felt sort of sloppy and lazy toward the end.

This quick YA thriller was really enjoyable to read. It was a little predictable and I wish there had been a bit more to it just to tie everything together.
