this book felt like a YA romance or a *super* cozy mystery. At first, the beginning seemed to be a slow burn. Slowly building up to the main event. But then the entire book turned out to be a slow burn. Modglin is known for crazy endings so I kept on pushing through.
85% of the story ended up being about high school drama and Cait Du Bois not being able to make up her mind about whether she wanted to be with Grant or Sam. The other 15% was the mystery about who truly killed Jamie, and Cait trying to figure out who the stranger is that’s been harassing and threatening her in the days leading up to the reunion.
As an avid mystery and thriller reader, this book did not meet my expectations, which Modglin had set very high with The Arrangement. The Reunion just fell flat for me, sadly.
Thank you to Netgalley for this audiobook.

The very first few pages of What She Did definitely intrigued me and pulled me right in! The beginning of the book was packed with action right away, but towards the center part it did slow down a bit and became quite repetitive.
Marissa, the main character, has a lot of flashbacks of her childhood/past and has been trying to make sense of what happened while trying to move on with her life. But all along, someone has been watching her.. from the moment the murder happened to now.
There was a twist towards the ending that I didn’t see coming, but I honestly could not make sense of it. I can’t ask the question I have without giving away any spoilers, so I’ll keep it to myself. Lol

I was pleasantly surprised about how much The Butterfly Garden (Book 1 of the Collector Series) and the "Butterflies" were tied into the second book! The FBI agents were the same as well, and as someone who doesn't love change - I sure do love that the same characters carried over. Told in multiple POVs, including Priya's (the MC), the serial killer's, and the FBI agents.
This is a good ol' investigative whodunit! I loved Priya and her mom, as well as their relationship to the FBI agents, but I was not able to really connect with any of the characters.
The story itself was good, but felt a bit too dragged out and I couldn't help but compare this to The Butterfly Garden and was a bit sad it lacked the same wow effect (even though I've been told the rest of the books in the series won't be the same).
