I was actually pleasantly surprised by this one!

I hadn't heard much about it, so I didn't know what to expect. In the end, it was actually a lot of fun. This was such an original concept and I loved that we only knew as much as the main character (which wasn't much). It was a lot of fun trying to figure out what was going on alongside the rest of the characters as the story went on.

For a YA, it kept me on my toes and guessing the whole time. I did figure out some of the reveals beforehand, but it was still entertaining to watch it all play out. All the characters also added such a different layer to the story because of their personalities. Overall, I had a great time with this one.
