I'm in the process of coming out to my family and this captured all of my feelings while doing it. I cried SO much and if you need a book to show you or explain how scary it can be to come out, then please read this book.

The mystery was good and I was on the end of my seat

I liked this book and it actually scared me!! I had to stop reading it multiple times because I was really freaked out. I thought that it was written well and I liked Tadhg's character a lot!

Definitely check trigger warnings because this was DARK!

I think this book was amazing! I read her debut and it made me ugly cry, but this one took my breath away. I was NOT expecting that ending and I am so shocked! I Absolutely recommend this book and it comes out on January 7th!

Pros:
-Backstabbing Friends
-High speed car chase scenes!
-Face-paced action
-Plot twist executed wonderfully *chef's kiss*
