It really pulled off the fast-pacedness well….. but I felt like the author could’ve left some room for character development (like SHOWING it instead of telling….. felt like the emotions of the moment could’ve been more described in some places; the romance kind of snuck up on me….. but I FELT it coming - so as long as it’s more described in the next books, I’ll be fine)
5.25🌟 (second on all-time fave bookshelf, after TCP)
Graphic: Violence, Death, Drug use, Drug abuse, Mental illness, Gaslighting, and Murder
Moderate: Addiction, Animal death, Child abuse, Racism, Cursing, Drug abuse, and Drug use
Minor: Rape and Eating disorder
Not THAT noticeable for some things…. (Some characters are racist - but not the main ones) Note: it has a lot of talk of death and murder (talking of HOW people were murdered)the_cute_shadowy_one's review against another edition

First of all it's a great mystery thriller. The twists are great. Nothing is too off-wall. You can follow along with the clues given.
Secondly I love all of the characters. Even the villains both made me be disgusted by their actions while being able to feel that they were a person. The main characters family are an absolute delight. It's lovely and refreshing to have a teenage school going character who family are a part of her life and that she has a host of friends that she regularly meets and hangs out with.
The characters actions make sense. There's no moment where I thought "for the love of God really!?"
There's humour and warm humour throughout the book. Dialogue between teenagers that actually feels like a teenager would say that.
While also it deals with dark topics in a serious way and in a more grown up way then many adult thrillers I've read. There's more respect paid to the victims and the people effected in the town.
A lovely fun read, with good suspense and drama.

A super fun mystery with a charming main character. I was able to find out who the killer was pretty early on but was still enraptured by many mysteries unraveling.
The only things that got me side eying this story is the romance subplot (but it's ya so like, whatever I guess ) and
