"Tell Me What Really Happened” by Chelsea Sedoti 
 
This YA mystery is told entirely through first-person police interviews of four teens, the story unravels over the course of several hours, as the truth behind a disappearance at a camping trip in the woods becomes increasingly elusive. 
 
The story starts with five diverse characters: an influencer, an overachiever, a heartthrob, an outcast, and a conspiracy theorist, who embark on a camping trip at Salvation Creek. However, their trip takes a dark turn when one of them vanishes mysteriously around midnight. The remaining four are left under suspicion, and as the clock ticks, their conflicting accounts of the night's events only serve to deepen the mystery. 
 
With its unique format, well-drawn characters, and plot twists, it made for a fun read.
