Stacy Willingham never disappoints! I loved her first two books, and I loved this one!
I will admit, the start of this book is a tad slow and comes off as being a bit juvenile as it surrounds teenagers and college. BUT it ends up being anything but juvenile. These college teenagers are wild and so many secrets come to life.
I did think the way this book is formatted came off as confusing at the start, but once I got into the groove, it all pieced together nicely. It jumps from "After" and "Before," and those two timelines end up connecting eventually and it's a big mind-blowing moment. LOVED it.
Stacy Willingham is one of my top thriller authors and I neeeeed more from her asap. The reveals and the twists in this one were great.
If you love reading about messed up characters and murder investigations, this is the book to try!
