Even If We Break by Marieke Nijkamp
3.0

It was good, I'm not impressed.

YA and thriller don't seem like a combination that would work. At least I'm skeptical about how scary a book can actually be if it's YA but parts of this book had me questioning if I should keep reading after dark so I think that worked out.

This reminded me a lot about [b:One of Us Is Lying|58679358|One of Us Is Lying (One of Us is Lying, #1)|Karen M. McManus|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1632078539l/58679358._SY75_.jpg|49825436] and [b:We Were Liars|16143347|We Were Liars|E.

Somehow I got the sense that this book has the potential to be MORE and 300 pages just wasn't enough to fully write out the whole story.

All in all, it was an enjoyable and quick read.
