Started this book in bed at 11pm... and finished it at 7am. Whoops. Just so fast-paced and intriguing!! I had to solve the mystery.

It had me guessing on nearly every page what might have happened, and I got close but didn't quite figure it out. And I'm glad for that because it would havr been disappointing if there were no big reveal. It still wasn't the most earth-shattering reveal, but it kept me reading, and that's all I need.

Lastly, I didn't feel much emotion until the very last page. That last page broke me. Poor Ellie.

I didn’t read the back when I started this and I should have because boy was that a heavy novel, definitely should not have been reading it at 14 but whatever. Very heavy, very true crime, honestly felt like a real case.
