"I want to find the truth. Whatever the truth turns out to be." 

I absolutely loved how different this book was from most other books I’ve read! The whole story is basically told through the script of a reality tv show with some other tidbits throughout! We get emails, texts, blog posts! And the coolest part is everything is unfolding basically in real time! The way it was written was fun and engaging in itself but the author also manages to create this amazing story. I have to admit a lot of twists I didn’t see coming which was lovely!
I love true crime stuff and this was basically set up like a let’s try and solve this old case, so everything was detailed like a true crime show. It had a wide variety of characters and connections. I spent the whole time trying to solve it and I honestly wasn’t 100% sure what had happened until about three pages before the book actually revealed it! And I have to say I love a book that can make me question myself so much! I formulated so many theories reading this one. It was such a fun experience to be able to try and solve the crime in real time with the characters in the book. Honestly I thought this book was phenomenal and I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it must be to pull something like this together so successfully.
