What a wild ride! I did not expect to read this entire book in one sitting but I literally couldn't put it down. The twists shocked me.

this was a rough one. both emotionally but also pacing wise. (I found it easier to get through once I spoiled myself and flipped to the page that mentioned who the murderer was). I was not expecting the mid-book twist at all! but got so attached to the characters. good one overall, and appreciated the spin on the “murdered prom queen” trope.

This book was just okay but mad drawn out. Such a slow burn for the plot to develop. I find no satisfaction in finishing it. The second half did pick up but I have questions as to why the Wyatt never said anything to Odette off rip and how the hell the pastor got to Odette?
