You're So Dead by Ash Parsons
4.0
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
***
You’re So Dead by Ash Parsons is a YA thriller.
Plum Winters intercepts an invite meant for her older, popular influencer sister Peach and convinces her two best friends to come along for the ride. The event is mean to be a huge festival that was supposed to be full of glitz and glam and maybe Plum’s chance to shine or be a part of something more.
Plum notices things seem strange straight off when the boat that takes them to the island doesn’t seem to match the overall image sold to her both from the invite and the website and when they get to the island itself there isn’t much of anything. Definitely no glitz and no glam and only seven other people of varying influencer levels. When the first of their party dies they start to think they may have fallen into a trap and now Plum and her friends have to work with the others to try and figure out what or who they have all in common that they have been brought to this island of death before they all are taken out.
***
You’re So Dead is fun and witty and full of ridiculous humor, satire aplenty and a definite homage to the failed Fyre festival done by the Pyre Festival in this book. The group had a true crime podcaster amongst their numbers and I could not stop laughing every time he did something. The killers motives were meh but real life killer motives also tend to be meh so no big deal there, I did enjoy the strange cast of characters and definitely Plum and her two bffs Sofia and Marlowe.
