The one thing I will give this book is the RARE representation for chronic illness. I appreciated the portrayal of chronic pain via Cadence’s migraines.

I thought it would be something akin to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, where a killer is revealed to be within their midst. However, it ended up just being a horrific tragedy killing 3 people. That twist was not as fun or exciting, but more depressing. I'm not saying it's bad, it just went a very different direction than I was expecting.Graphic: Death, Emotional abuse, Toxic relationship, Medical content, Terminal illness, Animal death, Body horror, Child death, Fire/Fire injury, Gore, Grief, Injury/Injury detail, Mental illness, and Violence
