OMG THIS BOOK WAS SO FREAKING GOOD AND THAT ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone who likes mysteries needs to read this book ASAP because it is like Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None but also a little like One Of Us is Lying. At first I wasn’t super into it but as it went on I literally couldn’t put it down and spent every moment of free time I had today reading this book and now it it 9:46 on a Tuesday and I haven’t started my homework yet

*******************MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVENT READ THE BOOK *********************************

IM NOT KIDDING

DONT DO IT



Ok so now I’m going to talk about how freaking insane that plot twist was. I’m not gonna lie the entire time I thought it was TJ because everything pointed to him but yet I thought that the author would think that the reader wouldn’t believe that because they loved him. So I was super pumped because I thought that I was going to get the mystery right for once. However, I also considered other possibilities like how in And Then There Were None the murderer was actually someone who faked their death (someone freaking spoiled that for me). So part of me didn’t put that past anyone. For example when someone attempted to murder Ben at the beginning I didn’t take him out of the running because he could’ve easily done that to scare people off. However, the second Meg found the diary and was reading it I knew it was the girl that Nathan had used except we never learned her name which was upsetting. And then everyone was dropping like flies and I was utterly terrified. I kid you not the last 100 pages I was terrified for the characters because I had no idea what would happen. And then all signs pointed to TJ AND MEG FREAKING SHOT HIM!!!!!!! And at that point I was just hoping that it was TJ so that Meg wouldn’t have killed him for nothing. And then on the boat with Minnie she seemed like a wreck so I was so scared that she was going to kill Meg AND THEN SHE FREAKING DIED!!!!! AND THEN IT WAS BEN BUT ACTUALLY NOT BEN BECAUSE IT WAS CLARES BROTHER DISGUISED AS BEN!!!!!!!!!!! I never saw that coming. That was freaking insane. AND THEN TJ FREAKING SURVIVED (thank goodness) and then they got off the island. That book was intense and I read that so fast haha. I will precede to recommend that to everyone now.
