I really enjoyed this book. The idea behind it was so good. In this book, a girl gets an injury that leaves her only a few days to live. She decides, with the help of a good friend, to solve her own murder before her time is up. There are a lot of different possible culprits and secrets come to the forefront. I'll leave it there so that I don't spoil the book.
The writing in this book is really good. The only thing I kept struggling with was to remember the characters were in their 20's not teens. They sound more like teenagers but it's all good. It really doesn't take away from the book, it's just an observation I made while reading.
I 100% recommend giving this book a read. It's just that good. It has a beginning that pulls you in and an ending that leaves your jaw on the ground! Very good book.
