When I heard there was going to be a movie adaptation of this book with Mille Bobby brown I knew I had to read this. This story is so engaging and the sapphic relationship didn’t seem forced or too much of a center, it was perfect. I saw some people not liking the ending very much but I thought it was fitting. This is a thriller but it’s mostly about realizing yourself. I fell in love with the friendship between the main three and I love this book so much.

This story is so much more than the summary promises. It's longer than it needs to be and is a bit meandering, but it doesn't shy away from illustrating abusive relationships and how community and therapy can change it's trajectory. Like a good thriller with a heavy dose of life advice. Does include issues like rape, domestic abuse, and psychological abuse.

Super intense. I loved the present tense chapters. It was thrilling, from the devious planning and the wrenches in those plans, to the quiet moments between the three characters that showcased their deep and meaningful connections. I struggled with the past tense chapters. All of the characters felt flat and I felt the book could have still made its point without harping on the main characters traumatic past. All in all, I was surprisingly satisfied by the ending. I wouldn’t read this again but it was a good read.
