its okay...

but why was Knox punched at the construction site... and he was hit so hard he lost his memory and got a concussion???

so the little brother, Owen, is 13, why did he know about Maeve and Knox's...issue... and why would he say anything, what good did that do???

Also idk if this is a spoiler, but its HUGE cliff hanger, i flipped the page and was like what, its over?

OMG??? The ending?? I did figure out who the other Anon person behind the Truth or Dare game was but what happened after that was genuinely just wow! Can’t wait to see what the next book in the trilogy has in store for everyone from this book and the first one.

A little bit of a copy and paste of book 1 in terms of the main theme but with largely different characters. The characters from book 1 were sent to being background fillers for the most part which was a nit of a shame as I'd grown to like them. A bit predicable at times and wasn't impressed with the irony in the end but overall an OK background audiobook.
