this book was a lot of fun. for sure kept me on my toes and was extremely gripping from page one. this was my first holly jackson book and i really liked the character dynamics and relationships at play. i didn't find the final reveals to be too shocking or surprising, but that just kinda added to my enjoyment of the book, strangely enough. i think it made it all the more fun to wait for the main characters to figure out and definitively prove what i was suspecting. there was still enough unexpected stuff to for sure keep me guessing! only reason this isn't a 5 star for me is bc this book still took me 2 days to read despite being a contemporary YA thriller under 400 pages lol (simply due to the ridiculously large cast of characters and having to cross-reference to earlier parts in the book so frequently). otherwise this was rly good and i shall be continuing the trilogy!
