I don’t want to say too much and risk ruining it for someone, so I’ll just say I think this story can be summed up in one sentence to me and that is: people are literally insane.
I feel like this could be a really popular book in the same vein as something like We Were Liars and I’m so happy I got here before the flock appears.
Crying score: yeah, a little.

The mystery here--Where is Tegan? Who killed [character name removed for spoilers]?--is compelling enough that it would probably entertain fans of Karen McManus or Holly Jackson. For me, this didn't do enough to stand out in the plethora of YA mysteries that have come out in the last five years or so. The unreliable narrator trope makes the story more intriguing, but I didn't care what happened to the characters because everyone had at least one aspect that made them wholly unlikeable. I'm all for realism (no one is perfect), but they didn't have anything to make them interesting either. Plus, the suspension of disbelief asked of the reader is, well, almost too much to keep the story going.
Moderate: Violence and Murder
