3.5 stars
The first 3/4 of this book is a solid 4-4.5 stars for me. I liked the premise, and the writing was really compelling. I thought the author was able to create some really good tension in the plot and between the characters. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like the ending of the book paid off that build-up. I also thought the romance between Kelsey and Ryan was WAY too quick, even though I liked their scenes together. I also thought Kelsey made some really terrible decisions that didn't make much sense except to move the plot along.

I had a crazy idea of what I thought the twist was going to be, (that's not a spoiler...it's a thriller...they have twists.) so when the actual ending came, I was underwhelmed. I just didn't feel like the book went far enough for me. Perhaps that is because it is a YA thriller, but I don't think that can really be used as a justification for the lackluster ending, especially when you learn all of the details of the truth.

This is the first Megan Miranda book I've read, and I'm excited to check out some more from her.
