This was simultaneously way better than I expected and also just as great as I thought. I guess you could say it lives up to the YA hype of 2017. I should’ve read it then but just never did.

The choppy writing style lends itself so well to helping us get into Cady’s point of view. Lockhart does a great job of portraying this wholly unreliable narrator and keeping the reveals and twists secrets until they are meant to be known. I really did not see the twist at the end coming at all, even though I knew

arson

was involved somehow. I thought the heartbreaking detail about

the 2 golden retrievers

was enough of a twist on its own because I did have to take a moment to pause after reading that.

Overall, a great YA suspenseful read. Would recommend.

the ending was PHENOMENAL but it took a really long time to get there. the writing style was beautiful, but not enough to keep me hooked until the very end.

So at first it was a little difficult to get used to the writing style. However, once I got into the plot of the book, I couldn’t put the book down. The plottwist at the end wasn't completely unexpected, but it still came unexpectedly and shocked me. It's a beautiful story that shows what a dramatic event can do to a person and really gets you emotionally. It also shows how the world of wealthy people who are seemingly so perfect also has flaws!!
