the plot on this one was better than the first book , but i love the character on "one of us i lying" more . Knox basically carried this book !! cuz without him i probably would've dnf it 
 

the og4 was featured in this book too . i love that I could read about  them more after the Simon incident . Nate and Bronwyn !!

i enjoyed this book so much more than the first i’ll be honest. even tho i was able to figure out some stuff the satisfaction of knowing i was partially right paid off. i also really like the ending.

maeve and luis are my otp. i also briefly thought that owen was smarter than what he was letting on tooo so that was so interesting to see
