Wooooow. I don't even know how to rate this! 

Things I have to get off my chest first!
1. I could hardly stand Belle, our FMC. lmao She was so annoying to me and I couldn't understand her whole "Everyone ends up leaving" attitude. Like, girly for real, your mother DISAPPEARED! Why do you assume she up and walked away?? Bffr! I also hated that she demanded to know stuff but then she was like, "omg I don't wanna be around that person, let me ignore them and run off!" Ugh, it wasn't until the big reveal that I finally started liking her!

2. I was hoping

"Taco Bell Girl"

would have a special appearance. Justice for her! Also,

why didn't Belle confront her dad about this!? He better own his actions!

3. I read this one with my ears so Ash, the young love interest, had the same voice and accent as the older guy filming the documentary. Whenever Belle was flirting with Ash, I pictured her flirting with Albert Einstien lmfao. For some reason, Ash was pictured in my head as Archie Madekwe, so I am down with that.

Overall, I was STUNNED at the reveals! It came out like lava! I had an idea but also had no clue! The last 10 chapters had me sooo pulled in! I'm still in shock that it's over. I wanna give this 5 stars but not an "omg best book ever, everyone read" 5 stars. It's more like a "wow, this gave me a lot of emotions and I hate most of you, what is this?!" 5 stars.

All I would like to say is what the actual fuck the mind of Holly Jackson scares me but I'm here for it.

This book kept me guessing for the very beginning. Obviously, I knew Rachel would show up at some point, but the way she did and the drastic impact her resurrection had on the entire family threw me off. I followed Belle's doubt the whole way, because she made SENSE. The family secrets are top notch to the point I never suspected one after hearing another... Belle has severe abandonment issues, and I appreciated her processing those throughout the story. 

The audio narration is done very well with clear distinction of who is speaking when. Highly recommend listening to this, and it was my first book by Holly Jackson.

here's the thing. i ADORE the way holly jackson writes mysteries, they're so carefully planned and well thought-out and seeing the pieces come together to form the solution is very satisfying. #1 author that makes me wanna go it's always sunny pepe silvia meme halfway through the book <3

however. the idea that the fallout from the revelations of the novel's climax could get so easily and neatly wrapped up

into a happy ending

with a bow on top just makes NO DAMN SENSE TO ME
