I quite enjoyed how this book flips back and forth between what is essentially four time-lines, though I did find it slightly confusing at some points. I really had to try and remember which was which. I liked both Naomi and Maya in the story, though I really didn't get why Naomi kept going back and forth between Liam and Ben, other than just her history with Liam. He's a jerk, but she just feels sorry for him I guess? I did like the twist at the end but when it’s confirmed that Lila is dead at the ski lodge, I kept thinking that Cecily, Kai, and Daisy were involved, instead of it just being Cecily. I found this twist to be out of left field because nowhere was there any indication that this is what was really happening... I liked Maya and Naomi, but I could have cared less about anyone else in the story.

This book was just ok. It tells the story of two sisters, ten years apart, who are members of a secret society at Princeton University, where two girls end up dead, including the younger sister. Told in three parallel timelines and two different perspectives (Older sister 10 years ago, Older sister now, Younger sister leading up to her recent death), it got a little confusing and hard to keep track of what was happening when. Ultimately, there were a lot of details, people, and information about the society itself that muddied up the story, causing me to lose interest and attention. The story finally came hurtling toward a dramatic (and slightly dissatisfying) end. The book wasn't bad by any means, but it also wasn't my favorite.
