I surprisingly really liked this. The dialogue was pretty natural & while I was pretty sure who the murderer was the story kept me second guessing myself.

This was a fun read. I really liked the format of the book and how it had the elements of the podcast, as well as going back and forth in the timeline. I wish I’d listened to the audiobook but the physical was still good to read.

I really did not guess at all that Emmett was the murderer so that was a good twist.

A fun read. The podcast segments were enjoyable. Felt very Only Murders in the Building 🤝 Serial. 

it didn't take too long for me to figure out who killed Savvy, but it was still enjoyable and fun to see all the pieces come together. Guess I enjoy a good amnesia trope with my true crime.
