I really enjoyed this debut novel! Every night before bed I found myself immersed in Ronke's, Simi's, and Boo's world. One thing I really enjoyed about the characters was how real they are. They are riddled with faults, but are also charming and human. I wouldn't describe this book as a thriller, as 90% of the book is just the lives of the the three protagonists, and how they are slowly being unraveled by a new "friend" who enters the friend group. The events of the end of the book happen pretty fast, it almost feels like it came out of nowhere. This book also has a toxic-friend trope, which I love. All-in-all, I recommend this book!
