I’ve read all of Karen M. McManus’s books, and usually I think they’re all fantastic. But I think this book suffered from getting to be the first I got deja vu from. McManus has a few tropes, character types, settings and ideas that she seems to go back to a lot, and all of these things made me feel as if I’d read the book before.

 This was probably my favorite one of her books. I didn't care for the sorta unclear ending, but I did like that the killer wasn't glaringly obvious from the beginning. It also dealt well with trauma and how people deal with trauma. I could have lived without the romance, but it still at least made sense.

Not as top-tier as her other books have been, but still a compelling and addictive read! There were too many little subplots for my liking, it was a little too confusing to keep up with all the new names and roles. Props for the author for always managing to write great YA mysteries, I don't usually read that genre but her books are an excellent exception!
