I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to admit that sometimes they’re just assholes who screw up because they don’t expect to get caught.



WHAT A WILD RIDE.

At each characters introduction I was SURE I was going to hate this book. Cliché after cliché accompanied the first 4o pages or so, but then something happened. I started to actually care for these people?? Not saying they are terrible people, but the amount of indifference I had at the beginning is something I expected to feel during the whole book. It's not often that I feel unattached to characters, but when it happens it usually sticks.

However, the amount of CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT needs to be applauded. Addy, Bronwyn, Cooper and Nate are my children and I must protect them all.

I'll admit the writing wasn't the best I've ever read, but I got used to it and don't have any major complaints.

Happy to say I am looking forward to the sequel and any other books written by Karen M. McManus.

Also, major props to that ending/epilogue for
Spoilernot only not having Nate and Bronwyn end up together right away
but also
Spoilernot having Bronwyn cheat on Evan when Nate apologizes/confesses his feelings.

It's been a while since I read a crime - mystery. And I quite enjoyed it. The narrative was gripping with suspects as narrators. There were red herrings as well as actual clues scattered artfully through out.
It was an engaging read.

I hate when I have to read the reviews of others because I feel like I didn’t read the same book and was left in the dust.

Was this book entertaining to some degree, yes.
Do I think it being classified as YA is questionable, yes.

Am I just too old now and becoming sensitive or is this really a serious topic that needs to be had?

Anyway, it was alright. Entertaining enough, but not so much so that I want to continue this journey.
