First, I’ll start by saying this is not a thriller. This book appeared to have been mis-marketed as it feels more like a contemporary fiction that includes some “thrilling moments” as opposed to a thriller. Had I went into this book knowing this, I might have had a different reading experience.

What I enjoyed: the shorter chapters, dual timelines, and the overall real true crime feel of the story. It felt like the Amanda Knox case but with a few more girls.

What I didn’t care for: the ending was open ended. While in some book this can work, in this book it just didn’t do much for me. Also the pacing was a bit off. The first half of the book felt more well put together leaving me wanting more, while the last half felt kind of slow and boring.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I found it easy to read and perfect for lovers of contemporary fiction. However do not go into it expecting lots of twist and turns or feeling like you’re sitting on the edge of your seat. This is less of that and more of just 3 young girls doing what 3 young girls do and we’re just along for the ride.

Thank you Berkeley publishing for my finished copy of this book. All ideas are my own.
