I honestly could not have predicted so many plot twists and gave up guessing what was happening next. This book feels like those videos of erratic, twisting slides people, for some reason, enjoy and you see them unable to grip anything and slamming into the walls.. Well, that's how I felt while listening to the audio....I LOVED IT!!!🥰

If you've followed Ms for long enough, you'd know by now I much I love Karen McManus. And as soon as I saw that she was releasing a new book, you can bet that I pre ordered it straight away!
I love, love, love YA Mysteries!! And this one did not disappoint! It had the romance part which as much as I know it's a mystery book, I can't leave without! I didn't see the twist coming at all and the ending was just damn!
I always love McManus' characters! Even though they're supposed to be teens and I am a couple years past my teens, I can still relate to them pretty well! Not entirely, because mind the UK school system is very different from the US but some things just don't change.
Even though it does involve death, its not too graphic unlike so other YA Mysteries I have read. Which to me is great. My brother is 11 and I still probably let him read it!
