THE GOOD: I didn't guess the twist.
THE BAD: I wanted more suspense and shock factor. The tension between the characters was frustrating to read because the reader can feel that none of them want to be there but feel like they have an obligation to be there for this annual reunion. The tension slowed the story down and dragged it out, which is probably the opposite effect of what it wanted to do.
