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

not only not having Nate and Bronwyn end up together right awaySpoiler
not 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.
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.
