This was a very good book, and probably the first book where I have actually been interested in every single POV. 

In the beginning, I loved how she set it up so that you didn’t know what each of them were trying to hide and no one trusted anyone. This made it interesting when you got to read it from all of the different perspectives. 

At the end, Jake make me want to throw the book…but I guess that’s expected.

All of the stories pulled together very nicely, and I like how much the characters developed by the end of the book. Very excited to read the next book!!

I enjoyed this book a lot! I read it in about a day, mostly in one sitting. I felt invested in the plot and characters, and thought the mystery played out well. I felt like the “villian” in the end wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted it to be, but I can acknowledge that this is a YA book and the plot has to be somewhat predictable. I was totally rooting for Bronwyn and Nate the whole time, I’m a SUCKER for a good girl/bad boy trope ❤️
