Another book about terrible people. I felt stressed the entire time. The plot is honestly very predictable. I accurately pinned down all of the major twists and tropes except for the very final twist. It was entertaining. It just wasn’t anything special.

Rating: 2.75⭐️
Would I recommend? No

Audio Review: Well-acted, but the male narrator’s voice wasn’t my favorite.

3.5

This book was fast-paced & really kept me trying to figure out what happened! The whole time I kept saying how everything Lily said made ZERO sense. honestly, I think this book could’ve definitely been a 5 star read if the author had just adjusted some details (the ending, getting more in-depth with Nina’s mom, explaining deeper what happened on the day of Jake’s death, etc..). The ending & the β€œbig reveal” felt a little lackluster which is why I only gave it 3.5 stars. It definitely had the potential for a 5 star though! (Nina deserved SO much better from EVERYONE😭)
