holy crap! I bought this book ages ago and it stayed on my shelf forever. I didn't expect much, not being into murder mysteries but I was blow away with the writing. I fell in love with all the character within 20 pages, and was loudly cursing the annoying ones.

when I started this I didn't like addy and thought she was the murderer but after about 50 pages; her dumping a toxic piece of crap boyfriend, cutting and dying her hair, and just becoming an overall badass I feel in love. Nate and Bronwyn where absolutely adorable and yes I do think that they were a little rushed but not in a bad way. Cooper and Kris became one of my favorite couples and both deserve the world.

I was hesitant when I picked up this book bc of the many mixed reviews. But honestly I LOVED IT SO MUCH😭. The plot twist was not that much of a plot twist for me... I kind of guessed it but the experience was not by any means ruined . The characters were well developed and I adore addy. This book put me out of a big reading slump ,it's really fast paced and definitely worth a read!

So. If I could give this book more than just a 5 star rating, I would. This book had such a good build-up to the final reveal of who the murderer is. Boy was I wrong.

The book is a good but you can kinda figure out the plot. Overall the book is great for someone who likes mistery, crimes and solving puzzles.
