I didn’t love this book like people love this book. It had a diverse cast and good character arcs, and I was definitely into the mystery, but the backstories were a little rushed, the plot was at times kind of boring, the writing was melodramatic, and the ending was a bit disappointing!

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.
