I liked this one! Wrong Place Wrong Time was a big hit for me earlier this year, so this wasn't a surprise, but I'm glad I loved it so much. The best part of this was the twist around the middle of the book; it changed the whole story and was quite clever. I found the characters very easy to get invested in, the focus on parental relationships helped me to care about what was going to happen to all of them. I think that focus on parental relationships, which is also a  feature of WPWT, makes the story feel more purposeful. The multiple POVs were another thing I liked about this because it gave the reader some variety and also a deeper understanding of the whole cast of characters. Overall, this was a really solid mystery with an interesting underlying message.
