Review after rereading:

I guess my hyperfixation to this series reignited after watching the show. I appreciated Holly Jackson's writing more after my reread. She is indeed a genius.

And since I can't wait to read again how it all ties together, I'm off to read Good Girl, Bad Blood.

I loved this audiobook. I listened to the entire thing in one sitting because I simply had to know how it ended, and the twists were fantastic. A great thriller that keeps you guessing the whole time
