 Overall Thoughts:
⁕ I’ve heard a lot of folks compare this book to Knives Out, and I have to agree with that assessment. If you’re looking for an atmospheric read with that aesthetic, this is the book for you!

⁕ This book was a little cheesy at times, but in an endearing way. Barnes develops the characters really well, so even when they were being overdramatic I still loved them.

⁕ There’s one “plot twist” that’s pretty obvious early on, but the main mystery of the book was absolutely suspenseful.

⁕ There are a few heavier scenes surrounding death, guilt, and abuse, but in general this was a fast-paced, easy read.
