Tldr; the plot was heavy on the character study and light on the murder mystery, which made it overall pretty boring. A disappointing sequel to a great first book.

This book is absolutely amazing. I could not stop reading it!

I totally thought that it was Phoebe behind everything since she was so adamant about Maeve not looking at the revenge forums. I was very surprised to find out it was Emma (her older sister). Then I found out it was Owen!?!? By the last chapter, I was sure that the plot twists were over so I was not prepared to find that out. I wonder if anyone else will find out that it was Owen that continued the messages.

This book has a lot of great twists and turns.
