So, I've just finished this book and quite honestly I'm not sure what to think. In short, I'm confused.
~
It's a murder mystery YA book. And within it's pages there are many stories told, many lies and half truths, many twists and turns. and I don't really know what to think about it. I don't know what's true and what's not with it. And I can't really work out who the real killers were, who survived the story and who didn't exactly.
~
When it comes to murder mystery stories and thrillers, typically while they're not cut and dried, you finish with a sense of knowing what happened, knowing the full story of events. But with this one, at least for me, I don't have that feeling. I don't really know, and maybe that's just my inability to follow it entirely. 
~
Regardless, I really enjoyed it and I've been meaning to read it for several years and I'm glad I finally have.

Really wasn't liking it in the first half but found myself enjoying it later on.

I enjoyed the multiple twists. I had guessed at one or two but was utterly blindsided by a couple. 
It felt similar in style to ‘Five Little Liars’ or ‘One of Us Is Lying’.

CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS!! Mysterious letters arrive inviting students to a murder mystery themed scholarship dinner for a $50k scholarship. It seems legit, until they arrive and things go horribly wrong. This dark, twisty ya mystery explores revenge and how loss can affect your psyche. So many twists and turns kept me listening for more. This book is very dark and could be quite triggering for many people, so I would seriously check the trigger warnings. However, this book was not very remarkable and did not stand out much from the other mysteries I have read before. I could predict many plot points. I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve read so many in this genre, but I am just not very affected by this book. I probably won’t remember it in a few weeks. It was fairly good, not bad by any means, it just didn’t stand out compared to the others I have read in this genre.
