Lives up to the hype, totally unputdownable. I sped through this one because I needed to know what how everything ended up happening and was totally surprised by the ending. I love a good podcast-based mystery and would definitely recommend this on audio. Just a note though that there's a repetitive "let's kill" voice that gets grating after a bit, but still worth prioritizing this format for the podcast element.

Review: This was SO. MUCH. FUN. I've heard the audio is absolutely fantastic, although I read it via ebook - and honestly? It might even be worth a re-read via audio, that's how much I enjoyed it! I was genuinely surprised multiple times throughout the book, and I loved the way it played with how we view those around us, and how that interpretation can change depending on other information we're given. And Lucy's grandmother? LOVED HER. I will definitely be on the lookout for more thriller/mystery books from Amy Tintera!

I loved reading this book and I think the storyline was so good. I will say, however, that my favorite thing about this book is the unreliable narrator. Do I know if the ending is what really happened? No I don’t, and the fact that I don’t know makes this book so much better in my eyes.
