I was just ready to be DONE with this book. The story was boring and dragged on for too many chapters. There’s also a LOT of “woe is me” pitying, and ALMOST THE ENTIRE BOOK’S SETTING IS IN THE WOODS. The main character was also REALLY annoying and made her unlikable. I wouldn’t recommend this snooze.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Violence
Dead Girls Can't Tell Secrets is a good YA thriller/mystery and it has a nice Pretty Little Liars vibe to it, when you don't know who should be trusted and you end up suspecting everyone.
Many plot twists, it keeps you hooked from the beginning to the end and it's not a long read.
The mc was a little bit annoying, I couldn't sympathize with her at all to be honest.
But it was fast-paced and since the book was short, it was a good read. Just keep in mind that it's a YA book with a teenager main character playing detective so you know what you can expect. It was a 3.5 stars for me and I'll probably read other books from the author.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for a honest review.

for once, i'm not trying to be tough in front of piper. im just trying to be her sister.
~ ♡ 3.25/5
i did enjoy this and it was a nice quick read, although i do wish that the ending wasn’t so rushed and that we got more.
i did really love savannah and jacey, and i wish we got more of them along with other characters. and that we got to experience more of their friendships.
also another book were i wish there was an epilogue, because it just felt so open ended for me. and i’m growing to realise i don’t really like them.
but i did like and will read more by this author.

Synopsis:
Suicide Point. The tragic place where Piper Sullivan was found, unconscious.
Savannah Sullivan knows that whatever happened to Piper on that fateful day was no accident. Everyone around her has seemed to give up on what caused her sister’s death. She might never wake up again. Savannah feels like she should believe it, but when she finds a note in Piper’s locker there’s no stopping her from continuing the path her sister had walked.
Although Piper didn’t succeed, Savannah would make sure that the person who put a target on her sister’s back would pay for what they did. What she doesn’t realize is that the people she used to trust have their own secrets and lies to keep themselves hidden from those who pry. Even those closest to her.
And Savannah? She's been keeping secrets, too...
My Review:
“Keep your eyes on anything you don’t want stolen.”
Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets had me intrigued since I read the title and saw the cover. Both of those are captivating, and the cover is just gorgeous! 😍
The story the book contained was even more intense and interesting. I always love a good mystery, and DGCTS did not disappoint!
I loved the idea of the story and how the plot was set up. Although, the way it was executed was slightly off putting, but the good pacing kind of overshadowed that 💛
Let’s not forget that you were always left guessing no matter what you thought was right or wrong. Chelsea Ichaso really gave no ideas as to whodunit, and that was the captivating part.
Every single character was questionable, and what you, as the reader, thought was real was actually all a lie. Fingers were pointed at others, but they never seemed to land true 🔎
The characters in this book were purely just the best. There were moments where I would burst out laughing, or times where doubt circled around in my head regarding a character. What I did find unfortunate was that the main and side characters didn’t have much depth to them. This caused a struggle in the connection between the reader and the characters, but other than that, I loved all of them! 🍁
Considering all of that, Dead Girls Can’t Tell Secrets was a good read! It was a whirlwind, and a good one at that. I would recommend this to those who love a quick-paced mystery, suspense, and intense read.
