I think there was a lot of potential but I figured out the twists early so it was a little bit of a let down

Too slow to be suspenseful. Twists at the very end that kept me reading but the beginning/middle just dragged on

I really enjoyed this book!
This was my first book by Stacy Willingham, and I thought her writing style was excellent. She uses different timelines in between before and after which I thought was really smart.
It describes friendships, lies and secrets, which starts as a slow burn, but towards the end it gets really fast paced and you basically can’t put it down.
I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Thank you @netgalley and @stmartinspress for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Coming out 01/16/24.
