So I cannot express how much I love this book.From start to finish it kept me interested. Honestly, I think the layout of the book was perfect.The first part we get to learn about Kya's childhood, the middle part is about her relationships and the last is about the murder.In most murder mysteries, it's just about the murder and its very tense but this felt - I don't know- chiller? The plot twist was right on the last page and leaves you confused and wanting for more. just read it!!!!
At the start i thought Kya murdered Chase. Then i thought it was Tate who did it. The plot twist was just wow.
