I thoroughly enjoyed this ya thriller and i’m glad bc it’s been on my radar for a while. i’m in love w the cover..

I had a ton of fun reading this, and I did like the misdirects we got and subtle actions of suspects that would make you believe it’s them versus the actual killer. I really liked how the whole reason for the murder was so that a rich white straight man could have content for his college essay LIKEEE it’s so ridiculous but also just goes to show the power that rich white people have.

avery gave me major leighton vibes from sex lives of college girls and I love that show sm. I do wish we got a little bit more of sierra and margot as they were part of the core friend group but ultimately felt like flat characters. and I wish that the cutting of the security cameras and that reveal was a little more intense but other than that I had a great time :D
