The story was intriguing, unique and kept you drawn in. A fast paced page turner. This is a YA paranormal, mystery, thriller. I enjoyed the variation in chapter styles switching between a podcast about a missing high school girl to interviews, text messages, evidence files, journal entries and the regular story. The storyline is also told in alternating timelines from multiple POV's. The MC's are complex and well developed and very much gave "Mean Girl" vibes. The novel gave an interesting look at the effects of social media's influence on teens as influencers and those influenced. And the way people react to being in a position of power. The magical realism was a wonderful addition to the storyline. There were so many twists and the ending was insane in the best way possible. I did not expect the story to come to that conclusion at all. The characters are all kind of unlikeable throughout the story but as we get to the end the MC's have all grown. There were many elements to this story but they all went together so well. I did a combination of the audiobook and hard copy. The audiobook was fantastic. I love an audiobook with a full cast. It made listening even more entertaining.
