God this book was just utter shit, what was the reason of this book because I have fail seen in reason it is. I just hated it, there was nothing likeable about this book and also was a supposed to want these characters to be okay because I just fucking hated them all and there is nothing redeemable about any of them and some of the reasons why they were even on the island was just so fucking dumb compare to others like tell me why you thought hiding the fact that you are gay and being an actually rapist and being responsible for a girl suicide is on the same level because it just fucking not....

Like I just don't get why or what the point of this book and also the pacing was awful and shocking it took so long to get to the point like so so wrong. The vibe was just so and mean so jarring like there was just some funny moments but I just didn't get what genre this book was trying and failing to be like is this a horror/paranormal story line or it is a mystery/thriller. I am not really sure what is happening. Are was just so confusing to be like one minute I thought this book was going to be slasher book like Scream or You're Next and then there was just some weird ghost plot line that wasn't even explained like what was the point and why did the ghost want them and what was the whole message of this book... Girl I am just so fucking confused and quite frankly I just wanted to finish to book so I could log it on Goodreads because this book just put me in a bad mood. Also imagine dying in a fucking panda costume. Actually I am just so over this book that I don't even what to write the review anymore.

"Chapter Thirty One
'All she had was herself. Ava hoped on the ghosts of her friends that she could be enough."

"The night began with blackmail: Eight o'clock. Portgrave Pier. Can you keep a secret?"
~
Good Girls Die First follows a group of 10 teenagers, each with a secret they don't want coming to light. And when they get to the pier, through a series of happenings they can't get back off.
~
One person confesses their secret, and are soon found dead. And as more of them confess, they too are found dead. It becomes a question of how far are the remaining group willing to go to keep their secret, and with it their guilt.
~
When I went into this I knew it might become a little difficult to continue, either because of the murders and deaths, or because of the fact that anorexia is mentioned in the trigger warnings. And though I finished it, that's not to say I didn't stop and take a breath each time I came to them talking about the disordered eating passages.
~
This book definitely reads like a thriller, and even though I didn't quite know how it was going to play out when I started, and I wasn't sure I'd get into I and enjoy it, I did. I didn't totally want to put it down, but at the same time, I could only read so much at once. It's a well written book, however, it's not my favourite of the thrillers I've read by this author previously.
