This book held my attention from beginning to end. I loved reading from each character’s perspective. I wasn’t able to guess who the killer was, although many times I thought I knew who it was.

I was slightly disappointed with the twist and just wish we had gotten some further context.

4.5

I was so surprised by how much I loved this book! Going in I found several of the characters insufferable due to their adherence to stereotypes, but as the story unfolded, the story diverged from the standard tropes. The story explored the biases we all hold, our motivations to lie, toxic relationships, and the incompetence of police. It’s a wonderful book that I would recommend to anyone from teens to adults!

Read this book in pretty much two sittings, and I absolutely LOVED it ❤️❤️ everything was perfect. I was immediately hooked and never felt like there was a dull moment or lost interest. The ending was everything I needed between

Nate and Bronwyn in the epilogue, Addy and Cooper finding themselves, and the shocking yet not too far fetched truth about Simon’s death

. Overall LOVE LOVE LOVE PLEASE READ 🙏🏻
