Good twist, liked the various narrators, more tense and graphic than I normally read. But I wanted to see how it ended for sure

If you enjoy Only Murders In the Building or White Lotus you will love this mystery thriller by Lucy Folly. You follow multiple points of view, as the intertwining events of past and present become of web of interconnection, dependency, and moments that reflect when life is stranger than fiction. 

4.5/5

Ew trigger warnings seriously needed

Not sure how I feel about the use of present tense

I’m not sure I like any of the male characters. I liked Hannah a lot and the sisters a bit. 

I liked having lots of different perspectives and timings, which I don’t usually enjoy. It kept a nice rhythm and pace.

I liked the relationship between Hannah and Olivia 

I like the mystery of who dies

I have so many questions and that pushed me forward throughout the book

Spoiler

I properly celebrated when Will died!!!

The fact that Will was also Hannah’s sister’s bf felt like it pushed me out of how realistic it was. It was too much. I don’t feel an ounce of pity for Will in spite of his father

I was kind of disappointed by the ending. After so much effort went into demonstrating that Will was the most vile horrible person who carries the guilt of so many lives ruined, being quietly and quickly stabbed didn’t feel like justice. I wish the truth had gotten out. I wish they all had their moment to confront him. I don’t like the lack of closure on the trial for Jono - I know he deserved to be sentenced for the manslaughter of the young boy, but I just have to imagine that all the truth came out in the trial and true justice was served after Will’s death. I wish that had played out in the book though.
