Loved this read. So compelling and hard to put down. A completely satisfying YA thriller and very impressive author debut. More, please!

I thought the main characters, high school teens, were written so well and their dialogue was believable and actually cute, despite the overall dark subject matter that’s the main theme. These young people were written as mature, determined, and with age-appropriate ingenuity, but still tempered with the youthful attributes of impulsivity and some naivety. Without a doubt, Drew, Autumn, Max, and Mary are some of my favorite YA characters!

I listened to the audiobook and felt the narrators, Sophie Amoss and Robb Moreira, were superb in their delivery of the story being told from the perspective of the two main protagonists, as well as bringing to life the personalities of all the additional characters.
