I loved the moments we got of Ava.
For what we found out about the “day of” by the end of the book,

The transphobia is not endorsed by the main characters of this book and is thoroughly dismantled. The suicidal attempt describes the method factually, and the emotions graphically, but only describes the set up in detail and not the actual attempt.amandalachelle's review

The plot twist that Maya killed Lilly was NOT what I expected and I did not love that at all. I kind of hated it, in fact. I kept waiting for the fathers to be held accountable! I was SURE that Lilly’s father was the murderer and I was so deeply disappointed that he did not come back to be served justice. Also, where was Braden at the end? I was grateful not to see more of him than we already did, but I could not believe that he would have been more involved all along the way.
I enjoyed the references to the bees but at times, it did feel a bit forced and somewhat overdone. And I wanted Olivia and Mike to hook up … but that plot line didn’t get a ton of careful attention.
Truly a well-written book. For the most part, the pacing was masterful. It dragged at a few points during the trial … but then again: that is real.
Thank you to both authors for this impressive work.
