Holly Jackson's books will do it for me every single time, I swear. It's been a while since I didn't want to put a book down because it was just so gripping.

Whenever I thought I knew what was happening, I was proven wrong every time.
Catherine Lavoy being the one to murder Red’s mom was SICKENING.

Oh, and fuck Oliver. I cant say that enough.

I was confused on why they didn't try checking the Walkie Talkie for bugs earlier since that seemed like one of the most obvious places to me, but it might have been one of those things that seemed too obvious. As in, irl I probably wouldn’t have realized that, either.


I wish there would have been an epilogue, though. (Or maybe I’m just sad it’s over lol)

Those fucking curtains are probably going to follow me until the rest of my life. What’s up with them?
