I was lucky enough to read an early copy of this book and I know it must look very different by now, but if there was ever a book to kick ass it was this one. Can't wait to read it again!!!!

Meh. This story got less and less believable as it went on, the characters more and more angsty. I expected more.

Oof this one got me. I cared a lot about the MC and the secondary characters. The mystery held my attention and I powered through it. God, sometimes the world absolutely sucks.

5 star read! I don't have a lot of 5 star reads but this one made it there.
So this is a mystery, murder mystery, Young Adult and a pretty decent book. When I saw that it was for fans of A Good Girls Guide to Murder, I just couldn't leave it like that. I had to read, it is AGGGTM that put me into liking murder mystery and wanting to read more of those.
The plot was half expected, it did not see the other half too, but the fact that a girl goes missing just because she released a podcast about another girl missing a year ago was clearly clever on the person who did it and then really good. Although the podcast seemed a bit to sluggish and like a sketch that was not ready yet.
However the main character was nice and kind of relatable on some of the parts. There were other parts I did not like about Iris. But it is a really good debut novel for this author, and I would definitely love more murder mysteries from her.

I had the opportunity to read this ARC because I stole it from my sister, and I was not let down! Right from the beginning, we are wrapped up in a tangled web of friends, ex friends, ex girlfriends, and family reputations that far precede the crime and disappearances taking place. It's easy to imagine Iris's frustration with everyone around her, and her brave investigative skills paved the way for a very thrilling tale. This had some very strong Pretty Little Liar vibes, and I was all here for it. I can't wait to see what comes next for Wlosok!
