I totally predicted the Toby/Harry thing. The whole book I knew he had to be more than just an intro character. For a while I wasn’t sure if he was the grandfather who just faked his death, or the son, but still. Maybe it was predictable but idc it’s still a clever way to leave a cliff hanger. I also think Rebecca’s involvement was predicable, but I’m surprised she wasn’t MORE involved. I feel like we didn’t learn enough about her or her relationship with Thea and Emily. Or her obvious mental health issues. Hopefully we get more on that in future books. Also I’m sorry but Tobias Hawthorne is creepy as FUCK for all of this. Keeping track of a 6 year old he met once??? And she just happened to have the same birthday as the girl who died, so she orchestrated his whole damn will around it?? Like Jesus what a weirdo. The epilogue with cancer made me feel bad for him cuz he wasn’t sure he truly mattered to his grandfather too.Moderate: Abandonment, Mental illness, Death of parent, and Gun violence

Been compared to Knives Out, I haven't seen the movie but the concept checks out
