I loved this audiobook. I listened to the entire thing in one sitting because I simply had to know how it ended, and the twists were fantastic. A great thriller that keeps you guessing the whole time

This was the first thriller and first YA book I've read in a while and the number of times I said "wait WHAT?!" out loud was more than I could have expected. I went into this book thinking I could figure out the murderers quickly but the story kept going in circles in the best way possible.

There was also some POC and LGBTQ+ representation so I was loving that aspect of diversity sprinkled in on top of the interesting plot.

Where I started to get a bit lost was with the 3rd person POV because there were a lot of "she's" being described at some parts so I had to reread to figure out who was doing what. I think having the main character in 1st person POV would have worked better for me but I know writing styles are different for everyone!

Overall I really liked the book but I'm not itching to pick up the next one just yet. Glad I was able to quickly read this one before the Netflix show came out though!
