This book was kindly provided by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Savannah believes that the “accident” involving her younger sister, Piper Sullivan, was her fault. She did something horrible, and now Piper is in a coma. When she discovers a weird note in her sister’s locker inviting her to a meeting of the Survival Club on the same day and at the same place where the accident occurred, she realizes she wasn’t alone—someone knows something, and maybe it wasn’t Savannah’s fault.
I decided to read this book based on the synopsis on NetGalley, but unfortunately, it took me some time to start reading it.
When I finished the book, all I could think about was, “This was crazy.”
I’m the type of person who is used to reading this genre, and I usually search for some type of realistic investigation, but I can forgive that if it’s really creative.
It was an easy read, but unfortunately, the final plot felt too rushed, and the resolution left me disappointed. I was trying to figure out the ending and was expecting something more “grandiose.”
The relationship between the sisters was complicated, partly due to their parents showing favoritism toward Piper, and partly because of Savannah's own terrible decisions, which focused only on herself and ultimately hurt Piper.
I will not be a snob about the book, it was a good reading to pass the time, it can be disappointing if you go to it with too much expectations, so just enjoy the ride.
