This was fast paced, I liked how it got right into the thick of things. Alternating timelines gives you a look into the before and after which worked well with the story. Definitely predictable. I was expecting a bit more. This is an entertaining read but nothing special.

It was fine but so predictable. Also it's all on me for accidentally reading YA again.

  • Tropes/themes:
    • Dual timeline
    • Image and perfectionism
    • Privilege 
    • Corruption
    • Revenge
    • Friendship
    • Betrayal
  • Great build up of suspense and tension. 
  • Predictable and unrealistic but I still really enjoyed the ride and it held my interest really well. 
  • The characters, their relationships, and their interactions were pretty cringe but that has a lot to do with it being YA fiction, I’d say, and it was pretty humorous at times honestly. 
  • Very cool how a large chunk of the present day plot takes place in a vehicle (reminded me of Survive the Night by Riley Sager)
  • The dual timeline was very effective for engagement and worked really well here. 
  • Content warnings:
    • Murder
