Good story if your looking for a quick mystery YA read, but it is fairly predictable.

Wtf. SO MANY PLOT TWISTS. 
This book made me despise a FICTIONAL character. 
Holly Jackson, I’m scared of you. Where did the inspo for this come from? Did you actually kill someone?  Were you stuck in an RV? Maybe a sniper shot a you? I MUST UNDERSTAND! LIKE HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS!?

despite Arthur being in the Mafia and manipulating and lying to everyone… I still love him. With Red. you can’t change my mind. HE HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR HER AHHHHHHH

I really liked it and thought that the pacing of this thriller was phenomenal.

 There was one point where I thought that things were wrapping up a little too quickly and too nicely (a little after the 5:00 pm mark when you find out about Arthur) but I’m glad that there was a little bit of a wrench in that (the cop) because it would’ve been to clean cut of an ending. I also wasn’t a huge fan that Arthur would willingly give up all his information so easily being the son of a mafia boss like… that didn’t make sense to me but otherwise I really liked Red. I was scared that there would be something up with Maddie (there was) but honestly I was expecting it to be WAY worse.
