I wish I would have read content/trigger warnings before reading this book. It’s very fast paced and a fun mystery. I love the twist at the end!

I don’t think much of Colleen’s writing, she’s not the best author I’ve read from. But I have to give her this, she has a great and disturbed imagination that can come up with flawed characters like these ones. I read this book for a school project and all I can say is, I have ALOT to talk about….

The hype doesn't give this book the payoff it would deserve if you came on it naturally. It's fine, but don't expect the momentous twist promises by booktok.
