This book is amazing. I love the pacing of it and obviously the mystery. It was a good mix of twists and turns and actual discoveries. It also leaves some loose threads in what the MC found that I hope is tied off in the next books. It was really good overall and definitely deserves the hype.

this is different from my usual reads because i picked it up from a local little library.

my thoughts on the book very swiftly transitioned to "standard, but interesting enough framing through a senior capstone project" to "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?? WHAT???? WHAT???". gets absolutely batshit insane, but it was a real fun romp.

Perfekt för fans av Pretty Little Liars och true crime podcasts! En försvunnen flicka med många hemligheter, ungdomar som utreder hennes försvinnande och många lösa trådar att knyta ihop...

It was fine. One of the rare times when I would say the “movie,” is better than the book.
