Piper Sullivan is in a coma after falling from Vanderwild Point, otherwise known by locals as “Suicide Point.” Everyone believes she tried to commit suicide, including her sister, Savannah. Savannah was horrible to Piper just before the fall. When a few things start to not add up, Savannah believes that not only is it not her fault Piper fell, but it wasn’t a suicide attempt. It was a murder attempt.
Savannah starts putting herself in Piper’s shoes. She’s perfect, smart, popular. Everything Savannah is not. While she starts to uncover more and more clues about Piper’s life, she realizes she doesn’t know her sister at all.
This book was alright, but I feel like I’ve read it before. It was suspenseful enough, but after a while, I got tired of Savannah accusing everyone and yelling at everyone that she knew, without a doubt, they were the ones who tried to kill Piper.
I was pulled back in by the ending, though. It was not at all what I expected, and I don’t think I would have ever predicted that ending. Overall, it was a fun book that I would recommend to people new to the thriller/horror genre.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this advanced review copy!

wow! what an incredible ride this was! feeling the confusion the mc felt was so interesting and fun. having savannah be such an unreliable narrator added so much to the atmosphere! not knowing who we could trust the entire time made this a nail biting, muscle tensing read!
