The book was fast-paced, however, it had nothing to look forward to. The plot was pretty mid

Even with figuring out "who dun it," I still raced through this thriller.  I tried listening to this on audio, but with characters named Jenna and Joey, I couldn't follow it.  It was much easier to read in print.

3.0

i found this book at target and honestly it was okay. i liked the description of the houses and i want one. the tom guy creeps me out. and i felt for whatever the main girls name was. i think it was joey? her hubby was a slay tho. he was cute.  

ok but rebecca was the killer?!?!?!?? WHAAAAT i never would have guessed. also, i rlly thought tom's wife was dead the whole time. literally blew my mind.

anyway, i liked the police transcripts. i rlly thought i was going to go back and try to solve it but i definitely did not do that.

SO GOOD! Great twist at the end…honestly just wish it was longer! Only reason I didn’t give it 5 ⭐️ was I wish the ending kept going, felt like the author could’ve written a bit more. But, that doesn’t affect the quality of the ending! Still a great book!
