. Okay. 
So I’m probably being a little harsh on this book but I knew the twist eight pages into the story and the whole time I am literally begging the book to have someone else be the killer. 
Literally anyone else. 

And it felt like the author was just doing it to have fun little buzzwords associated with her book. It felt like she was writing for a hashtag and not just letting it be natural. It felt stilted and fake. 

And honestly now that I’m thinking back at the story a lot of little things weren’t answered like at one point she does go through some things and be like I did this and this to not draw attention but then there’s also little comments and red herrings that the author doesn’t have reasons for. 

I kind of think I might put this lower rating.
