Fun read, but there’s such thing as too many plot twists.
wow.
i loved the different perspectives, and just the writing- i loved everything abt this.
( tripp and brynn <3 and ellie ofc. )
i stayed up to read this and it was honestly worth EVERY second.
it’s super similar to a good girls guide to murder vibes, unsolved case from a small town, a high school student solving it as a journalism project.. yea and AGGGTM being my favourite book ever just made this whole experience even more AMAZING. i loved how complex this was, and you could never guess what was coming next.
11/10.
ALSO I NEED A SEQUEL. THERE ARE TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS :(

I've loved all of Karen McManus' books, so I had high hopes for this one, but I found it a lot more difficult to get into than her others. The plot felt disjointed and sporadic, and climactic scenes came up very suddenly and ended very abruptly. It did start to pick up a bit toward the end, which is when we start seeing the most character development in Brynn and Tripp. I also really enjoyed reading about Tripp's relationships and the parallels to his strained relationship with his parents. The premise was very interesting and hooked me right away, but I think I just wanted to know more about the world overall.
