I have read another book of Lucy Foley’s in which she uses the same basic premise: mysterious location for big event, cast of characters all narrating their individual perspectives, murder at the end, timer counting down and also swapping between after “the event” and before. I think this is what made me like the book even less. 

Eye roll at the “teen translating conversation into current slang” trope.

I did enjoy it, it was fun. I thought it was funny

how many different bones people had to pick with Will lmao.
