I really wanted to like this book because I thought the plot was really interesting. But it didn't work.  The characters were really sarcastic and unperturbed that their friends were truly dropping like flies. There's a dead person found in the first 3% of the audiobook, before there's any time to settle in or get connected to any characters or really care about anyone. There could have been much more developing of characterizations.

This book is an absolute must. This took me out of my reading slump. It gives me scream vibes, so if you like the scream movies then this perfect for you. Betrayal, Romance
