This book genuinely broke my brain. The plot twists at the end?? They hit you like a TRUCK. I had CHILLS in the reveal. 10/10 book, I WISH I could re-read it for the first time again.

I can't write a review saying WHY I liked this book, because else I would spoil it. 

But I can say I know now why so many people like it. 
It's honestly a good YA murder mystery book with such loveable main characters. 

I would definitely recommend :)

SPOILERS! 
Y’all I cannot! This book is actually so good.
The plot twist was pretty good, considering we thought it was one

murderer who killed Sal and Andie, but it was actually two (kinda). I can’t believe Cara’s dad killed Sal, but in some deranged way it made sense. And Andie’s death? BY HER OWN SISTER? Technically it wasn’t premeditated because her sister was dying and she left her there, but she did hide the body. And to think it hadn’t been found after 5 years, she did a good job.

BUT… there’s one thing I cannot forgive.

BARNEY. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE? It wasn’t necessary.

My heart was broken.
