Very basic book imo. It’s good and kept me interested, but it doesn’t have depth and it writes like an 8th grader. It said it would not follow an Agatha Christie novel with twists and turns and then does just that.

Loved this book! I thought it was incredible!

I wish that Nicks dad came up at the end since he kept showing up at the house and I wish that the end had more of a surprise factor than a pregnancy, but it was still amazing
