I loved this book. Ive not read many mystery/ thriller books before so perhaps I need to get more into them. I loved the characters and the plot and the ending. I was feeling everything the characters were and My emotions were up and down. I loved how the book shows the reality of a loss of a family member and how it can sometimes break a family apart rather than bringing them closer together. I loved the deep feelings that Laurel was showing and how it made me feel. What happened to Ellie was destroying and shocking and left me feeling twists in my stomach. I love when a book can make me feel the emotions of the characters. I am glad poppy had her happy ending and that she wasn't left in the sidelines. Ive read many books that contain multiple perspectives but I've never read one with this many. I didn't know if i liked it or disliked it at first but now I realise it had me knowing the characters more and understanding their different opinions.

An eerie and creepy thriller! I loved this twisted story. I also loved how things were tied together at the end of the book. It was easy to follow and quick to read (which I love). One thing I didn’t understand was the reasoning behind Hanna and Theo getting together? I don’t really think it served purpose to the plot. I felt hurt for Floyd at the end as well, and wished him and Laurel could have worked things out together. Even though I did understand why he did what he did. I predicted the plot as soon as Ellie mentioned her period though while in Noelle’s basement. So, the book seemed a little monotonous after that for me. Overall though, it was a great twisted thriller book that I really enjoyed! An interesting concept for a plot that they somehow made work with a good story!!
