5.0

This book was very interesting and it made me want to keep reading it all the time… the story was amazing and thrilling and the situations felt very real, like it would be something we could expect in the world today and it would feel normal, but feel bad as well. It was a very interesting story to read and many secrets were unravelled in the story and it was awesome! The plot twists were really good and it kept me captivated the whole time i was reading. I absolutely love this book. However i find that the pace is a little slower than i’d have preferred, but it really doesn't bother me much so yeah. Awesome book definitely recommend love it! very thrilling would read again!

This was a very good book, and probably the first book where I have actually been interested in every single POV. 

In the beginning, I loved how she set it up so that you didn’t know what each of them were trying to hide and no one trusted anyone. This made it interesting when you got to read it from all of the different perspectives. 

At the end, Jake make me want to throw the book…but I guess that’s expected.

All of the stories pulled together very nicely, and I like how much the characters developed by the end of the book. Very excited to read the next book!!

I enjoyed this book a lot! I read it in about a day, mostly in one sitting. I felt invested in the plot and characters, and thought the mystery played out well. I felt like the “villian” in the end wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted it to be, but I can acknowledge that this is a YA book and the plot has to be somewhat predictable. I was totally rooting for Bronwyn and Nate the whole time, I’m a SUCKER for a good girl/bad boy trope ❤️
