This was messed up - in a good way! Holly Jackson is so smart, I would love to know her writing process and how she comes up with all these twist. I did not see one twist coming... I was shocked the whole way through the book. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through! None of these characters were particularly likeable, maybe except for one. They were kind of stupid and annoying but that made for good drama.
The reason why it is not a 5 star is because it was a bit too dramatic and one character REALLY got on my nerves (which I think was intentional).

Holy shit this book was good. Like whew Holly ya really cooked with this one. I mean from the constant fixation on random stuff to the foreshadowing of stuff from the very beginning, this really was a good thriller mystery. Also the way

I so wanted Oliver to die but in my head being like “nah he’s too nasty to not live” and then him actually dying? ✨Perfect✨

By the way, Red really had me scared for a moment there. Although her talking again with her mom was sweet and all, it was also devastating. Luckily she pushed through.
