I liked it. A good feel to the book and I enjoyed the twists and turns as you accuse different people and you try to work it out. I wasn’t amazingly keen on the ending - I feel like it was a bit of a let down but I did enjoy it. Not sure I’d pick up book 2 hence why not 5 stars.

thrilling, misleading, complicated, and fully serving the gullible persistence of the YA audience.  

50% mark i didn’t know if i could/would continue, the repetition and messy plot twists were hitting a nerve. 

but we’ll worth seeing it through in the end! 

low key villains i’d like to see about in the sequel: the rookie cop & his wife, andie’s dad, definitely naomi and the loser journalist steve. i need them to get some straightening with all their closet skeletons
