This started off really good I was invested in the case and the author kept uncovering evidence in a very fast pace I was really enjoying it but after approximately the first 100 pages all this fell down she just crammed everything in the beginning that the rest of the book was so boring all I was thinking that I just want to know who did it and get it over with. Also I found the author really extreme in describing who andie was like how could someone be THAT bad like it was too much. Also it was a very bad idea to Involve romance in the main plot it erased the mystery vibe completely this all felt like some cheap teen drama show. The reveal of who did it at the end wasn't shocking to me I won't say I was expecting it I wasn't but still my reaction was like "okay that sucks let's move" so yeah this wasn't a good experience for me definitely an overhyped book like so much more books out there it's really getting frustrating by now how much people hype bad books.
