Loved the twist at the end!
There is bonus content at the end called Zoë Lately and I totally thought it was a preview of another book. I was so disappointed when it wasn't!

While I loved the premise of this book it moved really slowly. To the point where I put it down and didn’t Pick it up again for weeks. It was also semi predictable? Not all of the twists but a few of them. It was like Sadie by Courtney Summers but not as good.
4.5 stars. The book raced to the climax and then sort of fell flat. Girl on the train vibes.

Honestly this book was well done. I could not put it down, I was just so engulfed in this book. This is my first time reading one of Kit Fricks novels. Apart of me hopes for a sequel but apart feel as though this book does really well as a stand alone! If you’re looking for a mystery along with a thrilling plot, this is the book for you. If you’re someone that really is looking for things not to drag on, which I don’t think this book does, however this might not be your cup of tea. But please give this a try! There was plot twist after plot twist after plot twist. I couldn’t even predict anything, oh my goodness, if I could pick up this amazing book and read it for the first time all over again, I would!
the first book i’ve read in a year and i finished it in a day. so good!!!
"It was an accident, but... I killed Zoe Spanos."
I’m so mad for putting this book off for so long. This is my second YA murder mystery with a podcast involved and I love this style so much.
The book it written in two points of views: Anna (who confessed to killing Zoe Spanos) and Martina (who believes that Anna’s confession doesn’t add up). The POVs jumps from Anna and Martina/past and present a lot, so I was kind of confused at first but once I sat down and dedicated myself to finishing the book it was easier to keep track of the timeline.
Aside from Anna confessing to killing Zoe, she has also been told that she looks like Zoe which added to the mystery even more. As Anna spends more and more time in Herron Mills, she gets the feeling that she’d been there before. I’m not normally a fan of unreliable narrators, but this one was amazing!
The ending was nothing like I imagined it would be. Once we find out who killed Zoe, I thought that would be it for plots twists but I was wrong. That last chapter made me gasp.
If you like YA thrillers, this is an excellent (and quick read) for you!

Solid read. Based off the classic novel "Rebecca", this book has a lot going on. Time switches between the current timeline and the past, an unreliable narrator, and several twists along the way. 3.75 reads rounded up to 4. Thank you, Edelweiss and the publisher for this ARC.
