I found the plot a bit difficult to navigate and there was a lot of jumping around.

I hoped for more with this book and I really think it had potential. 
The book was very predictable and just confusing at times. There were so many plot twists that felt rushed and hard to follow as they were not explained and I was left feeling confused. The start was intriguing but towards the end so much was going on I didn’t enjoy it. It’s sad because I loved books like these.

The plot was fine and I quite liked it, but I hated how the characters were written. Well, mostly; I liked Brett, Juniper, and Gavin.

However, I found Ruby to be a bit of a mary-sue and her character totally changed after we find out she’s planned this (although I did sorta prefer her after). Also, Shane was the weirdest manic pixie dream boy character, and the whole slow dancing w Ruby on first meeting was just odd. Parker was too one dimensional as a villain. That being said, I liked the narration from him. </spoilers>

Plot wise, it was fast paced, which is always appreciated and I found myself shocked with some of the reveals

(mostly just that Juniper was sorta innocent)

Overall, a fun read but lacked well-written characters.

This was a wild ride, and one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. It helped me to get out of a reading slump, as I didn't want to put it down. After checking reviews when I had finished reading it, I was shocked that it wasn't getting much love. I personally thought this book was gripping, I was so invested in the characters, and I was so intrigued behind everyone's motives for their actions. Yes, it was a little bit unrealistic in places, but I felt that it made it all the more fun to read. It was pretty dark in places for a YA thriller, and explored some themes that are a little more adult, so check content warnings if you're planning on reading this yourself.

I enjoyed the multiple twists. I had guessed at one or two but was utterly blindsided by a couple. 
It felt similar in style to ‘Five Little Liars’ or ‘One of Us Is Lying’.
