I didn’t hate this book - I think the description was misleading.   It wasn’t a thriller but more of a character study with a true crime element thrown in for good measure.  Really surprised this was a Reece pick.  The writing was decent, very visual but there were no big moments, rather an unwinding of three girls experiences the summer after graduation changed everything.
