Fascinating, but perhaps not the genre for me. I don't have any umbridge with the way it was written; rather, I realized that when reading it I don't like the whole premise. The idea of a teenager poking into a murder/suicide investigation and solving it makes me.... uncomfortable. So I will probably not be reading more stuff like that, but if you do like that, then this is probably a great book for you.

Ahh I just don’t know! The plot twist was good don’t get me wrong but I just found this book so cheesy and cringe at times! It was ok and I might read the rest of the series but this book didn’t have me hooked like other thrillers I’ve read, which is a shame because I soo wanted this to be a 5 star read for me! 

Also I need justice for chapter 35 because wtf! 😭

One of my favorite murder mysteries I’ve read. Had a traditional twist but I liked how it also leaned into the tropes often found in true crime moreso than murder mysteries. Examples like martyring the white girl, blaming the brown person, police negligence, and communities being ruined. Definitely need to read the other two because I need to know how the loose ends come together.

If I didn’t finish this book in class, I’d be bawling my eyes out.

No words, only a phenomenal story.
