Wow. The reason I got this book was because I saw this bookmark that had an area where you could write your list of suspects and when I saw the book the bookmark lined up with I though, “let’s read this it looks fun”. And it was. I was pretty close with my list, I wrote down Carly bc I thought the guy that was in the truck with her and Jules was the murderer. I wrote down Ginny bc she was just super sketchy, the way she was so quick to make Monica think that Ethan was lying and how she wanted to be involved with every inch of the investigation. It just seemed like she was trying to be involved so that if anything led to her she could steer mon in the opposite direction. Then there was the whole thing with Mike and what he found in her dad. Over I really liked the book even tho the beginning was a little slow it kept me in my toes and I couldn’t put it down. I also felt so bad for Ethan. The fact that he finally got to be with the girl he’d been crushing in since they were kids and then she dies weeks later is heartbreaking. He lost his mom, the girl he liked, and had no place to live all around the same time. Jen really did deserve better
