I loved it! The plot was engaging while some characters you can root for while others you couldn’t root for or trust.

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.

l liked the concept and the plot twist at the end, but everything else felt like filler to hit a page requirement. This could have been a short story and it would have been just as effective.
