I think we were going for a plot twist but we didn’t quite get there. Loved the disability representation though.

4.0

this was a rough one. both emotionally but also pacing wise. (I found it easier to get through once I spoiled myself and flipped to the page that mentioned who the murderer was). I was not expecting the mid-book twist at all! but got so attached to the characters. good one overall, and appreciated the spin on the “murdered prom queen” trope.

3.0

I began to enjoy the book until chapter 35?? that's when it began being a hit or miss. The story dragged on and was focused on details that weren't that important. I was annoyed. But I pushed on because I did enjoy the mystery of it all and I had questions. There were routes that the author took that were questionable at the end.

Like making Angel be the one to solve it all with a map falling onto her lap so to speak.

Ending felt rushed and strange. I was glad to had finish it to be honest.

Don't get me wrong, like I said I still enjoyed. I made the speed at 1.5? In order for it to be faster because the third narrator was a bit slow for me.
