I think if you're going to enjoy this book there's quite a lot of stuff you're going to have to get past. First, this book is heavily inspired by the case of Eliza Lam, called Eileen Warner here, and in this book this character is psychic and that is the reasoning behind her behavior, which honestly feels disgusting. The characters in this book are written to be teenagers in the worst ways, in that they are vapid, impulsive and have awful internal dialogue. I think this book absolutely takes the cake for the most mind boggling reactions to finding a murder I have ever read. Also the plot is predictable and the romance is shoe horned in at the worst times plot-wise, but compared to everything else that is almost a non-issue. This book only gets a point five up from worst because the message is good, I guess, and it surrounded the character Chrissy whose sections were at least the most bearable to read.
I don't honestly recommend this book to anyone. I'm really struggling to say something positive here at the end, but maybe I'll say that the plot had some potential and I can see the authors maybe making stories in the future where I might like them more, but if I'm going to be frank I don't think, when I have more choices of authors who I've actually enjoyed, that I would be picking up another book by Victoria Fulton and Faith McClaren.
Edit: thought about it actually zero stars, I still feel gross about all of it. Go support a mental health crisis centre instead of buying this book.

🇬🇧: I really enjoyed this book. I had a hard time getting into it and I did put it away for a while. After that I was sucked into the story and I had a hard time putting it away. The intro was a bit boring and hard to understand but after they reached the hotel that changed really fast!. I did discover the plot before I got there (I read a lot of crime books) but that didn't make it less fun. They whole storyline is just perfect and I was really excited at some points. The end was also very good it was a typical it will be alright in the end ending!
