Ok……. I LOVEDDDD this!

It really pulled off the fast-pacedness well….. but I felt like the author could’ve left some room for character development (like SHOWING it instead of telling….. felt like the emotions of the moment could’ve been more described in some places; the romance kind of snuck up on me….. but I FELT it coming - so as long as it’s more described in the next books, I’ll be fine)

5.25🌟 (second on all-time fave bookshelf, after TCP)

OH. MY.GOD. i love this book a little too much (i finished it in a day 💀). the characters-loveable and hateable. plot-istg i was gaping at the end of part 2. AND it was believable - not a stupid af plot twist where someone completely irrelevant to the plot was the murderer. 10/10 would recommend
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL BARNEY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

HOLY COW THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD!!!! I was hooked from start to finish, I honestly could hardly put it down!! It’s just so good!!
It started out pretty cozy imo, BUT DANGGGG THAT LAST QUARTER OF THE BOOK PULLS OUT ALL THE PUNCHES!!
This has to be my top favorite thriller I’ve ever read, even though I’ve read very few thrillers, and I can’t wait to read the second book and watch the Netflix series when it comes out!!

Holy crap. That's the way this book left me feeling after finishing it.

The plot and storyline of this entire book was perfect. The small leads revealed in every chapter had me thinking about scenerios non-stop when I wasn't reading. All of the suspects had so many strings attached and yet the ending of this made so much sense. Not to mention I did not expect it at all.

I think it's safe to say I won't shut up about this book for a long time.

I think all of the characters were amazingly written but Pip and Ravi have a special place in my heart. They were the best duo for this.

Throughout the book, I always felt like I was right there with them; experiencing everything and being scared when something eery came up.

All in all, I would easily recommend this book to anyone and I already have. 

This would definitely be a 6 star book if there was such a rating!

I wasn’t sure about that his book at first and next thing you know, I’m finishing it. Absolutely worth the hype! So good! It is most definitely YA and has stupid teens making stupid choices that aren’t always realistic, but books don’t always have to be realistic or make sense to be good. This is one of those books!
