I didn’t really know anything about this book before I went in, except that it was a murder-y breakfast club situation. That being said, I ended up really liking it! There are a good amount of twists and turns throughout, and I had fun trying to guess what was going to happen next. I thought the entire ending was wild in the best way, gripping, and just bordering on unbelievable without fully crossing that line. I’d recommend to any murder mystery fans!
