Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

This was an interesting read. I was thinking it might be similar to a Sally Hepworth or Megan Miranda novel, and it was, but also different. I would consider reading another book by Kate White in the future.

3.0

3.5/5 stars. This book was a decent mystery thriller! I did find Kiki a bit off-putting and found the way she constantly ran with her theories as if they were the absolute truth unrealistic and annoying. The book was also a bit slow until the last few chapters, but those chapters had me unable to put the book down until I finished it. I feel the book did provide a neat ending, but I had trouble keeping track of all the characters mentioned throughout, as some were only briefly mentioned, and then when they were brought up again later, I had forgotten who they were. Additionally, I felt a lot of loose ends were left without closure and I felt that the ending was fairly predictable and a bit clichรฉ. However, I enjoyed the setting of the novel and thought this was a fun little book. Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins Publishers for this ARC.
