Reviews with content warning for Gun violence - No One Can Know

while i found myself racing to finish this book and figure out who really committed the murder, i felt there were some parts that could have been left out. the amount of twists had my head spinning. my theories changed the more i read, but i can say i was pretty accurate in the end.

If you're looking for a book that gets you invested in the characters, look elsewhere. The sisters aren't likeable. Every male character is the worst (how many inappropriate relationships were happening between older men and teenagers). All of the adults are terrible.

On top of that, this book really fell apart in the end. It was like she wasn't sure who she wanted to blame because they were all awful.

Not sure whether this one will stick with me or not. Decent mystery, some nice twists. Not a waste of time, but nothing I would re-read or go out of my way to recommend to people. One or two things felt a little unfinished or just dropped at the end. I tend to prefer KAM's YA horror books, which I highly recommend.

I simply assume at this point that anything KAM writes will be a hit with me. I loved this. I'll be honest and admit that the synopsis wasn't the most compelling thing for me and I basically only picked it up because I love KAM's writing so much that I was willing to try it out and hope for the best, but this was phenomenal. I was so invested in the history between these sisters and stayed on the edge of my seat until the very end!

I suspected the culprit from fairly early on in the story, but it didn't feel predictable as it was more of a gut feeling than anything, and even with my suspicions, I still fell for one big red herring hard — enough so that, when the reveal happened, I was somehow surprised despite having guessed it so early on. 😂 That might have made more sense in my head than it does on paper, but it's true!

I really enjoyed the different POVs of all three sisters, but JJ was definitely my favorite. I just loved her perspective, and some of the reveals about her past broke my heart! 10/10 would root for these women again.

I read a final copy borrowed from the library, but for the sake of disclosure, I was also given an early review copy. All thoughts are honest and my own.
