Review: This was SO. MUCH. FUN. I've heard the audio is absolutely fantastic, although I read it via ebook - and honestly? It might even be worth a re-read via audio, that's how much I enjoyed it! I was genuinely surprised multiple times throughout the book, and I loved the way it played with how we view those around us, and how that interpretation can change depending on other information we're given. And Lucy's grandmother? LOVED HER. I will definitely be on the lookout for more thriller/mystery books from Amy Tintera!

I loved this. I was hooked the whole way and desperate to learn the truth.

I loved the characters and the way the story unfolded. The slow reveal of secrets, from a cast of small town characters, and the slow reveal of the story from our narrator Lucy made for such an engaging tale.

The narrative style mixed with podcast episodes made the delivery so much better. I highly recommend the audiobook production!
