Ashley Flowers does it again!!! The twist at the end was more than just a twist. This book kept me intrigued and was never dull. I felt like I was solving it with Nic.

Okay Ashley Flowers, you (and your ghost writer who you give credit to in the acknowledgements, but her name is escaping me, forgive me as I read the audiobook) redeemed yourself with this book because “All Good People Here” was just fine, but this was so much better. A real page-turner, with fun red herrings and shocking twists. These are better sisters than me though, I’m not gonna lie lol.

I was really mad about the ending of Ashley's first book. I'm still mad about it today. Thus, I went into this one expecting to be mad again. As it turned out, I was- at first. But the more I think about the ending of this one, the more I actually really kind of like that it turns out to be something entirely different from what I was thinking throughout the entirety of the book. There were aspects of it that I did see coming, but many that I didn't as well. I really liked the main characters and the way their friendship developed throughout the book, and I found myself completely immersed in this one in a way that I wasn't with All Good People Here. It wasn't perfect, maybe, but it definitely showed a lot of growth in Ashley as a writer and I can't wait to see where she goes next!
