This was pretty good!! I enjoyed the buildup a lot and I loved how the characters ended up becoming really close by the end of the story. I wasn't really shocked with the plot-twists, because it felt kind of obvious. But still, it was really good and a great read. 

would most likely reread, but not definitely ☑️

 Como lectura en general, llenó todos los espacios requeridos para ser un libro bueno. Personajes relativamente sólidos, una trama segura, con los espacios de misterio necesarios. Quizás fue esa trama esperable la que la hace un libro bueno, pero no excelente, y no tan memorable. (Sorry, Simon)

Y quizás hasta esos puntos favorables no son tan fuertes. Solo sentí que Bronwyn estaba desarrollada al máximo. Sus pequeñas luchas consigo misma, sus motivaciones, sus secretos. Siento que el menos desarrollado fue Cooper. 
Si bien su homosexualidad es algo muy importante para todo el "estereotipo" que construyó como máscara, eso no me hizo sentirlo un personaje más profundo que Bronwyn.
  Addy me parece la peor desarrollada en general.

La trama es predecible. Soy estúpida y conecté todo mal, pero acerté a cada suceso (atribuyéndolo erronéamente, pero aún así). 
Incluyendo el plot twist de Jake. No lo adiviné bien, pero sabía que estaba involucrado de alguna manera.
Eso muestra que fue una escritura muy cuidada y notable. Las pistas estaban ahí, pero lamento que en cierto punto se haya pasado de foreshadowing a exceso de detalles.

Es una buena lectura, recomendable para meterse en el género de misterio.
