Good concept but even for a YA thriller, this feels juvenile.

On one side you have Mary of the
“Oh I have severe head trauma and amnesia but no talk of seeing a Dr. and let me just sleep for two  days”
decision-making mindset who can remember
Lizzo but not that she is allergic to strawberries.


The other narrator, Drew, reads more like Nancy Drew - only more predictable.

I read this book in 1 day.
It was a quick read and kept me interested the whole time.
I did not see the twist at the end which is surprising to me. I usually see them a mile away.
You can tell this is the authors first book, however the writing is quite good. 
There were a few small things that stuck out to me as a little annoyances but not enough to stop me reading.
I do recommend this book.
