The interlude at the end was shocking for me 😱 overall it was a good read wonderfully twisty suspense that hooked me from the start and had me guessing till the very end! Love reading every interlude between chapters.

I really loved this book the characters were literally perfect.  Obviously I loved jules the most out of the girls and was the most excited for her book. She was definitely a girl boss! I loved her and Josh's hateful relationship the back and forth was so funny.  I absolutely ate up the tension in this book. Was my first read by this author.
