I definitely was not the audience for this one. I really enjoyed Megan Lally's debut That's Not My Name so was expecting to love this one. Very bummed I didn't.

No Place Left to Hide follows Brooke, a well off perfectionist. After an incident at a previous party Brooke has been getting harassed by an unknown person who thinks they know what happened and wants Brooke to come clean. After months of not socializing Brooke decides to go to a party to celebrate those that got into Ivy Leagues. However the night ends very different than she planned when the harassment escalate on a dark secluded road.

If you enjoy high school drama with a bunch of annoying rich kids this one is for you! This one is extremely YA and as someone in their 30's I am too old for their shenanigans. None of the characters are likeable and honestly I wish justice was serviced to everyone of them in the end! There was a few plot twists but they were expected and didn't take much to guess. I did enjoy the chapters being split into before and after the incident but thats about it. The epilogue was definitely not needed. Sometimes leaving some mystery is better.
