Just alright. Plot twists had me shocked but it wasn't something I had to finish quickly or was obsessing over

3.5

This book was fast-paced & really kept me trying to figure out what happened! The whole time I kept saying how everything Lily said made ZERO sense. honestly, I think this book could’ve definitely been a 5 star read if the author had just adjusted some details (the ending, getting more in-depth with Nina’s mom, explaining deeper what happened on the day of Jake’s death, etc..). The ending & the “big reveal” felt a little lackluster which is why I only gave it 3.5 stars. It definitely had the potential for a 5 star though! (Nina deserved SO much better from EVERYONE😭)

Characters were boring and the ending felt rushed and out of place. It was quick to read and the story was fine, but it was hard to get invested.
