So it was good ig. I recommend reading instead of audiobook like I did. The main character kinda repeated a lot of her feelings and there’s a rhyme in the book that is extremely overdone . Took forever to get to the twist and even then I didn’t seem to be wowed in any way. I did like the ending specifically the twist with Jenny. I thought it was cute. Other than that it was a sad story about awful people being the worst.

Woah.

This was just phenomenal and mindblowing. This is probably the first book that truly brought me to understand what to be  mindblown means. 

Also, this thriller book consisting of so much death and misery also ended up having potentially the most feel-good, chill inducing endings I ever read. I am so happy for Virginia’s life she had after all of the truth came out.


The only thing I can think of that I wanted clarified is what was up with Detective Vick- he worked there at the same time Kit’s dad did but I do not recall any part where we heard more after Kit said that he should be called right before the confrontation with her dad
