Honestly, I'd give this book like a 3.75/5 stars. While I enjoyed how messy each of the characters were, including the narrator herself, the whole high-class aspect of it all was kinda thrown in my face at times, which was a reminder of just how much "money talks" today. However, I love Woon as an author and her book If You, Then Me was one that I deeply enjoyed and treasured in high school. I loved how the plot twist was set up, but I felt as though the resolution after that wasn't as intense as I was expecting. Overall, though, I enjoyed reading this book!

I wouldn't say this is a thriller necessarily but it was an extremely interesting read with an amazing plot twist.

This mystery has several parts that keeps it engaging. It had a couple of twists - things that I didn’t expect and that added important elements to the story and really made me rethink what I knew about it at that point!
This book had an unreliable narrator at points. That’s what the twists were about - getting new information that either had been withheld or purposefully twisted to make the narrator sound like a better person. I have never read something like that, and it was probably my favorite part of the book.

Enjoyed the story while reading it, but realized afterward is that I hated the characters too much to like the story as much as I’d thought I’d had.
