More like 2.5 stars!

It was okay! Just a quick and easy read. Very predictable.

This book was good in the end, but some of the chapters were really long so that made it a bit hard to get through at times. I figured out the twist early on, so not too shocking.

This book was so good! I thought I had the plot twist figured out during one of the flashbacks Poppy had, but I was so hoping I was wrong cause it made me so sad. I really enjoyed it, just shows some mean girls never grow up, there’s nothing like your sisters love, and it’s okay to not fit in. At 27, I wish I could hug the little girls in this book and tell them none of it matters at that age.
Really impressed with this author!

Really liked this one and how things played out. The ending felt a bit rushed and I figured out early on what actually happened to Poppy before things started turning bad for the girls. This one was a bit hard to read with the bullying. Giving it 3.5 stars

This was definitely entertaining!! The subject matter overall was an important one to highlight. Loved the ending! Only negative, it was a bit predictable, still couldn’t put it down though. Great summer read!
