3.0

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
