okay yes yes yes!!! I’m so happy that this one was a win! 🤩🤩🤩
this was such an atmospheric read with a fantastic cast of characters!! I loved every minute of this one - it kept me guessing until the very last page and kept my mind spinning the entire time!
ten years ago, nine teenagers survived a terrible accident, leaving thirteen of their classmates dead. now completely off the rails, the remaining seven of them gather during the anniversary and of course, paranoia ensues 🙃
told from alternating POVs from past to present, I loved how you didn’t know exactly what happened during the big accident until the very last page. it kept leading and leading and leading the reader on until it all clicked at the end and had me screaming HOLY SH- at 2am 😳
while I did guess the secret antagonist from the beginning, I didn’t mind because I loved figuring out the little easter eggs scattered throughout the novel and squealing when it was finally revealed 🤭 (aka my favorite type of thrillers ever)
the ending plot twist still had me reeling though. megan miranda really got me this time 🫡
a huge thank you to netgalley and simon and schuster for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!!
