wait what the fuck.
i was NOT prepared for that twist at the end i definitely should have seen it coming but i absolutely did not. felt like maybe there should have been more clues towards that ending but when she’s

straight up lying the whole time

there’s not really a way to distinguish the truth for yourself.
characters were a little one dimensional and i had trouble remembering who was who but overall was a strong thriller and mystery!
read all in one day and i was definitely into it especially once the plot started to pick up when they got to the castle.

It just had a lot but nothing going on. The first half of the book seemed to be about them being rich. Then the second half started off good but quickly became the author trying to do every twist possible.

But it was actually all a lie by the main character. It also wasn't believable.

I did like the structure of the interview and the set notes. I also loved the cover.

I liked the twist and the idea of the story overall, but the characters were underdeveloped for me. Like there were interesting aspects of them but they were mostly pretty flat. There was so much I wanted expanded on but it felt a lot was left out to keep the image of intrigue. It was def a good atmospheric book and I enjoyed the addition of interviews and articles sprinkled at the end of the sections like a multimedia type of deal. I would've def ranked this higher if the characters weren't so bland. The story and idea is there! The characters are just the letdowns.

this was truly a gaslight gatekeep girlboss revenge story. Loved that aspect of it. Like yes girl get that revenge! A little murder and lying is okay as a little treat! Could've been a 5 star if the characters weren't just "pretty, commanding jock. Rich, pretty influencer girl. Nerdy, organized girl. Music boi. Art hoe. Obsessing over mc best friend. And main girl facing family/financial struggles" art hoe had so much potential that I feel like it was wasted. Jock, influencer, and obsessed bff also had potential that was wasted. Ugh so much potential for them all to have more interesting deaths than interesting lives

I found the pacing to be a slog, the characters flimsy, stupid, and obnoxious, and the writing to be tortured. Every turn was telegraphed entirely too hard. Felt like the author was just doing a poor novelization of a movie we’ve seen a dozen times. Did not work for me on any level.
