I honestly enjoyed reading the book, nothing too serious, this might a new genre for me anytime I'm in the mood for a quick read! I did like the change of perspective and the character development, in the beginning I was expecting everything to fall flat, but that didn't happen.

An easy read and a fun mystery. The ending was satisfying, although I hate Nate the rest of the characters are good. Exactly the kind of book I was looking for.

i love how the main four characters are supposed to be these 1 dimensional characters & super cliché but by the end of the book, they have personalities & have grown out of the cliché.

• 3.75 ⭐️ because it was a very enjoyable read, but felt that the story and characters were quite basic and nothing new.
• Re: the pacing, I felt that the reveal of the killer was rushed and just thrown in the reader’s face in one big blob of an explanation.
• I also thought it would’ve been better if
  the 4 main characters were actually involved in figuring out and catching the ones actually involved in the crime. Instead, it was just cooper and addy while Nate was in jail and bronwyn was just not there
  . 
• Characters were pretty well fleshed out but still left more to be desired I felt. 
• Overall I feel meh about this story. It was fun, but didn’t have much of an impact and wasn’t as intense as I thought it would/could be. Struggling a bit to think of anything more to say about this book. I guess I will check out the sequel.
