I really enjoyed this book! It kept me interested all the way through and that twist right at the end with Jay was brilliant!! Didn't see that coming at all!

It took me a while to get into this, there were times I felt that the story was so slow that it had almost completely stopped but then it picked up from around the half way point. With that being said, I loved the later twists and the final outcome. 

A detail I can't ignore since reading this is that I started sleep walking again for the first time in years since reading this. This is probably a huge coincidence, but I can't ignore that this could be the cause of this habit reawakening! 

Also I can't read the title without reading it to the tune of All the small things- Blink 182 😂

My least favourite of the series so far... still likeable enough characters but far cringier than the others and I just found I couldn't get into it as much!

I feel like these books are like reality TV, they're cringe, make your brain switch off and a bit embarrassing but you can't look away 😂

4.0

I was on the fence wether to rate this a 3 or a 4 but I decided to go for a 4 as it was an enjoyable read overall! The book itself was good and you get to know each final girl quite well. The parts I found hard to get on with were when Lynnette suspected someone of being "bad" she didn't just suspect them, she was 100% convinced and she was then proven wrong quite a few times! I felt like some of those could have been avoided. Some good twists towards the end.

Almost a 5 star read! I was hoping for a big twist right at the end which I didn't get hence the 4.5. However, this was an excellent story, I really enjoyed it. My new favourite Lisa Jewell book!

3.0

An irritating read, took ages for anything to happen- then when it did happen, it would suddenly throw you back to a past scene that wasn't as interesting. Found it all quite predictable and long winded! 

Aside from Sive who I tolerated I found I didn't like any of the characters too meaning that I didn't really care about what they were up to!
