The plot twist did leave me shocked. Medium paced, couldn’t connect to the characters but a well written book and I can see where the hype came from. There is animal death which, looking at the Goodreads reviews, is why some people gave this book a low rating. I liked how organized it felt though and it was a fun read and to be honest, 2 months later, I still think about the plot twist on what happened to Andie. I just would have never guessed the ending and I still am in shock about the ending. The more I think about this book the more I like it.
