My finals are screaming for attention but the moment i started this book i knew i was going to love it and be obsessed, and i was (i finished it in less than 2 days). The formatting with the interviews is so fun and i wish it was in more books! Absolutely loved the short chapters, but also how do u manage to fit 91 chapters into a book thats 440 pages long? Absolute wizardry!!
I loved pretty much everything about this book! From the setting, to the plot(twists), to the characters! There were moments throughout the book where i thought “this could’ve been written more cleanly” and then i finished the book and all those moments made so much more sense and fit so well into the book! All the characters are so different from each other without being boring, almost all the characters are important to the story and fucking loved that!

There were some really interesting emotions unpacked throughout the mystery, which I appreciated, seeing as baggage is such a large part of what this book is about. I especially liked some of the passages where Devi thought back on her reason for being at the estate and how time had done little for her healing process.
On the side of the mystery, I found it a very pleasant rollercoaster ride, with the many red herrings and surprise reveals. Emily and Charles were rather grim individuals, but at the end things come to a fairly nice happy for now conclusion. Indeed, a good follow-up for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen M. McManus.

Like Jess from This Book Kills, Devi gives us a refreshingly candid view on how wildly out of touch the extremely wealthy can be, and the power imbalance which allows them to ruin lives (or break laws) with little consequence. I can’t really go into too much detail on this (for fear of spoilers), but it’s an aspect that’s startlingly relevant right now and something that really resonated with me.
