easy five stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

the plot twist, the way the characters were all connected, the sprinkle of romance, and the betrayal all made for an amazing YA thriller! i love that even though holly jackson’s books are YA, it doesn’t have that immature feeling some YA books have! these characters were complex and have so much depth!! i can’t wait to read jackson’s next book!

I’ve put off reading this book for a while but ended up finishing it in one day because I was so hooked! Plot twists galore and so many times my breath was held in anticipation!
