This book genuinely broke my brain. The plot twists at the end?? They hit you like a TRUCK. I had CHILLS in the reveal. 10/10 book, I WISH I could re-read it for the first time again.

SPOILERS! 
Y’all I cannot! This book is actually so good.
The plot twist was pretty good, considering we thought it was one

murderer who killed Sal and Andie, but it was actually two (kinda). I can’t believe Cara’s dad killed Sal, but in some deranged way it made sense. And Andie’s death? BY HER OWN SISTER? Technically it wasn’t premeditated because her sister was dying and she left her there, but she did hide the body. And to think it hadn’t been found after 5 years, she did a good job.

BUT… there’s one thing I cannot forgive.

BARNEY. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE? It wasn’t necessary.

My heart was broken.

It could have been an easy 5⭐️ read, but

they killed Barney off

and I think it was unnecessary. 


This was the closest I've ever got to that feeling of playing Nancy Drew games as a kid.
