A fun, quick murder mystery written for the YA audience but interesting and engaging enough for anyone who likes the genre. The overall plot isn't anything new though the twists are done with a deft hand and leave the reader guessing until the very end. It has some gratuitous plots that feel like your classic teen show "added for shock value", some of which are critical for the plot and some that seem to be there only to get a gasp. There's a couple too many characters for me too.

A little slow at the beginning but once things started happening, it picked up. I wish the whodunnit reveal had a little more oomph but it wasn't the worst. And I wish we knew if the person would actually get charged with the all the things they needed to be charged with. I did enjoy the very last bit with Ginny, I wasn't expecting it. And I liked how Ethan's character turned out.

I wish we found out about what would happen with Tom and Mike knowing that Tom killed an innocent man. And like besides emotion clouding judgement, why he was so quick to kill an innocent man

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a very quick read for me. It also has alternating timelines; present with the MC and 5 years prior with the MC’s sister. The ending left me with so many unanswered questions though, it felt as though there was another chapter that had been left out of the book. Other than that it was a pretty good read.

This book was amazing! The first half of the book however, took me ages to get through, nearly 2 weeks, and I didn’t have much ambition to read it, however the second half took me two days to read.
