A YA thriller-horror centred on an awkward teen girl, and a new comer with a plan (strong Jo from You vibes). Wasn’t a huge fan of the audiobook format but otherwise enjoyable.

The idea behind the book was something that could have been made much more interesting and fleshed out, the story itself is somewhat short, making it feel rushed, especially towards the end (though even in the start of the story things feel very "this is happening too fast"). 

The voice acting was good and I did enjoy the different characters in the main cast,

ofc. the "influencer" was insufferable, which was done on purpose, but I wish he was also fleshed out more.
