Quick, easy read. This is a book about a hit and run, and a subsequent death, with people pointing to a loner boy as the suspect. I knew all along that all was not as it appeared to be on the surface, there were too many things pointing to the suspect. Also, the victim seemed to be too wholesome, something had to be amiss there. However, I was surprised at the ending. I didn’t suspect who T was, and why Wade was with her, nor did I see the cop angle. Both surprising. The novel really exposed how easy it is to get caught up in rumors and false information on social media. This needs to be a message that all read, it is dangerous and harmful to attack people, especially without knowing facts, and details can easily be misconstrued. I enjoyed this novel and will look for more books from this author.

High school kid gets accused of killing classmate in hit and run, but the truth is much darker. Well written, pacing was good and no threads left hanging.

I got bored. I still want to know how it ends, but not enough to continue. So at this time I do not want to finish.

I started with the audio but didn't love the narrator so I switched to a hardcover. I thought it was a slow start and I didn't care much about the characters or plot. At first I feared it would be too predictable but I ended up breezing through the end to see how everything shook out (because ultimately my curiosity got the best of me). The first half was âmehâ but the second half had me turning the pages quickly and pleasantly surprised with the final outcome.

I picked this up at the airport on the way home from a bachelorette party. It was a decent murder mystery. Nothing mind boggling, no earth shattering plot twists, but a decent delve into small town, high school drama gone amuck. An entertaining weekend/airplane read complete with Facebook and Snap chat posts from disgruntled townsfolk.

Usually when I read these kinds of books (unreliable narrators, small town, plot twist) by the end I'm skimming ahead just to cut to the chase. This book kept me interested and enthralled right to the last page. Such good character development for a fair amount of people - I learned enough about everyone's backstory to appreciate their outcomes and felt as though I knew them as a character. I was into the story enough that I cared about what I was reading, and wasn't constantly guessing about motives or what the outcome would be.
A couple times I was like really, would someone do that, but then pages later I would be convinced that yes, yes they would.
Very close to giving this four stars. I definitely recommend this as a good weekend read.
