Our girl Margot has gone through some shit. Her best friend dies 3 weeks after HS graduation and she spends her frosh year at college in a depression.  So when popular Lucy randomly invites her to live with her next to a frat house for soph year, Margot jumps at the chance. Things are amazing until their friend is murdered and Lucy goes missing. To me, this was a great combo of nostalgia and the yearning to belong, all while I was trying to solve the murder of the frat boy next door.  Great beach read!

Really enjoyed A Flicker in the Dark and All the Dangerous Things. Expected to like this one as much, but it disappointed. It felt amateur compared to the other two.

It was a very interesting plot but I struggled to get along with the “kids getting killed / murdered in South Carolina in suspicious situations” plot that seemed close enough to the Murdaugh case. I may be losing my interest in thriller novels because this is the second novel that I have finished and struggled to identify why we would encourage and continue to give a voice to the ending of a life with a “reason.”
