I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. It wasn't as predictable as most mysteries I've read, so I appreciated that. I loved Ginny as a character and Monica coming to terms with what happened was really nice to see in the end. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to someone who wants something more tense and mysterious. Just please check TW; there are a lot of them!

Solid book yet again. I liked the imagery of describing the main character’s surroundings.

this book was okay-ish.
some of the decisions made seem really unreasonable and unrealistic.  like Tom all of a sudden complying and telling Monica about the investigation when he swore not to and said he never would. idk it doesn’t make sense to me. the way it’s written was super confusing and honestly hard to follow. it wasn’t terrible but i also didn’t enjoy it whatsoever either.
