The book was written well although I hate the fact that I knew who the murderer was from the get go. I found myself favoring Poppy's POV more than Serena's. Her character had more depth than Serena's at times especially in the middle of the book. One thing I do however love about Serena's POV is how the author showed the effects of trauma on someone.

P.S. For anyone wanting to read this book, there are several trigger warnings such as grooming, sexual assault and abuse.
