This is the most fun book I've read in a very long time, and by far the best mystery book I have ever read. I was thoroughly engaged the entire time and couldn't put it down! I got through it so fast. So many twists and turns, it constantly kept me guessing. SUCH a fun and engaging read.

The plot twist did leave me shocked but I just don’t think YA detective mystery murder books are for me lol. Medium paced, couldn’t connect to the characters but a well written book and I can see where the hype came from. Not too memorable and Tbh I kept reading to know the ending but I think it was worth it. There is animal death which, looking at the Goodreads reviews, is why some people gave this book a low rating

Wow, what a wild ride!

This book definitely lived up to the hype for me. The book started off a little slower than I expected but towards the end is where it really shone. There was no point throughout the novel where I knew who was the obvious candidate, and I was shocked when I found out the culprit and what had actually happened.

I don’t want to give too much away but the plot twist was really well done, it made enough sense given the information we had known up until that point without being glaringly obvious but as soon as you thought you knew the whole story, something else happened to turn that on its head!

I also liked the characters and their dynamics with one another. 

It was such a great read, and I’d definitely recommend.
