This was a really interesting book. At first, I thought it was just a mystery story, but then the plot twist was revealed. I guess I thought the book was so interesting because of the psychological thriller part of it, which made you really confused after the plot twist. I was asking ChatGPT so many questions cause I didn't really understand- Why was she still talking to the liars? But my questions were answered, and I really enjoyed this book. I rate it 4/5 stars.

The twist in this book had me throwing the book. What the fuck.
What kind of sixth sense bullshit is this.

Wow this book really got me. I felt like the beginning was a bit confusing and jumped around a lot but the twist genuinely shocked me. I couldn’t help but guess what was going to happen and I was wrong on every theory.

Senti falta de elementos que conectassem o leitor com os personagens, nem com a Cadence consegui me conectar direito. De todos os personagens o que eu fiquei mais triste foi o Johnny, não sei explicar bem o motivo, mas dos 3 mentirosos ele era o que eu mais gostava. E o Gat foi o que eu menos gostei, achei ele muito chato apesar de que no final a gente descobre o porque de certas atitudes dele.
Eu gostei do fato da autora ter ido colocando pequenas pistas ao longo do livro que só fizeram sentido quando descobrimos o plot. A gente fica com aquela sensação de ?ah é por isso que coisa x aconteceu?.
Sobre o plot, eu pensei em mil coisas menos no que realmente aconteceu, eu gostei. Apesar de não ter chorado horrores como uma galera do booktok eu fiquei bem triste.
