I was really between 2 and 3 ⭐ here but I'm going with 2.
Let's start with what I loved: SUMMER VIBES, camp atmosphere, murder...
What I didn't like:
- I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but seriously this cover is SO misleading. This is no slasher and it's barely a thriller. I won't spoil anything but the body count here is disappointing.
- The overall motive of the "killer" is lackluster and kind of boring
- Almost all the action takes place in the first quarter of the book and then the last 30 pages
- Terrible teen relationship representation
- Abundance of teen alcohol and drug use
