super easy and fast to get through but it just fell flat compared to lies like wildfire for me. the red herrings were way too obvious and i called the 3 biggest mysteries like 150 pages before they were solved each. also, after reading both of this author's ya thrillers, im genuinely concerned if she even has an editor at all 😭 llw already had a grammar mistake and a literal character name switch up (?!), this one had some tense shifting and some weird wording. but for a quick read it was okay.
