sionna's review against another edition
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up because it is good, I enjoyed it, but there were aspects that just really felt unnecessary or like strings left unwoven.
More funny than sad with some dark humor, but really just a book about a girl trying to protect her siblings but getting in over her head from the lies.
100% wouldn't call this a mystery. Mostly just a contemporary.

There’s something for everyone in this YA thriller. Fraud, death, a little light haunting. If you enjoy your suspense with a side of dark, biting humor, this will be a page-turner. While it is frequently funny, I appreciated that the author didn’t minimize the genuine hardship someone in this family’s situation would be facing.
