I don't have much to say about Karen M. McManus' work other than she is the reason I still keep reading YA fiction. the DRAMA 🤌🏼

Slow start but that could just be me being a slow reader- once you're in it though YOU ARE IN!!! Love a good mystery and I kept trying to figure it out before the characters did

The mystery and intertwining stories of the book were really well done, and it was an engaging read. However,

the way the story ended, with one of the main villains of the story triggering one of the main characters to want to go “scorched earth”

really annoyed me, and honestly took away from the whole story. It could have been ended without that as part of book one, and I would have been just as excited to read a potential book 2 if it ever was written.

i’m sad that i read other people’s reviews before writing mine because i actually enjoyed this one, i loved the characters, the twists the plot took and i also liked the ending a lot. 
i’m just not sure how i feel about the romantic aspects of the story but they are all in high school so it was to be expected to play this big of a role
