i love kara thomas’s stories bc they really have u hooked from the start. this story was really good and so underrated. i think it’s for sure a bit mature for YA. i didn’t expect the plot twist ( i never do for kara’s stories) it was crazy i’m not sure what i think about it

Yikes. I was looking forward to this one, but now I kind of wish I could forget I read it. It started out strong—some things (such as her treatment at the hospital) felt unrealistic, but I thought there were many interesting avenues for the author to take the story. Ultimately, however, I felt that certain twists (particularly that last one, which I thought added absolutely nothing to the book and was just ick) were just there for shock value, and the characters all felt extremely inconsistent. I felt like we were reading about completely different people by the end of the book. Also, not a great representation of female friendship or parenting.

I loved this book but can’t give it five stars cause it didn’t give me the excited or gasp worth emotion like my five star reads do. 

Pros: thrilling, good twists and turns, loved that the book was in parts

Cons: ending felt predictable and not sure I like the relationship between Kat and Jesse being the way that it was…

It took me a while to care about what actually happened that weekend, but the book had enough twists and turns at the end to redeem itself and earn a three-star rating.

This book tried really hard to throw in twists and perspective changes.

The motivations of the characters did not make any sense to me. Some really weird stuff happens but it wasn’t strong enough to salvage it for me.

It is a fast read and not long though

I enjoyed the process of reading the book, but I felt the ending was somewhat stupid.
