i was somewhat disappointed reading this book just because i thought it would lean more into the lying and deceit side of things but it seemed to focus less on lying and more on just not knowing things. i also found cady’s amnesia and headaches uncomfortable to read because they were so graphic it sort of made my head hurt too while reading… i did however think the book was a nice length and reading about the 4 main characters and their friendship was sweet. there were some nice moments with the family feud too which were entertaining to say the least. plot twist was unexpected and will definitely stick with me.
