SPOILERS! 
Y’all I cannot! This book is actually so good.
The plot twist was pretty good, considering we thought it was one
murderer who killed Sal and Andie, but it was actually two (kinda). I can’t believe Cara’s dad killed Sal, but in some deranged way it made sense. And Andie’s death? BY HER OWN SISTER? Technically it wasn’t premeditated because her sister was dying and she left her there, but she did hide the body. And to think it hadn’t been found after 5 years, she did a good job.

BUT… there’s one thing I cannot forgive.
BARNEY. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE? It wasn’t necessary.
My heart was broken.
