If Scream and Mean Girls were queer(er) and had a baby, it would be this book. 

I started and finished it in the same day and when I tell you I could not put it down, I am not exaggerating. 

Messy, real, and relatable Cole and Dearie are the perfect unreliable narrators. I loved the alternating pov chapters and how they showcased how different these two besties were, but how fiercely they loved and fought for (and with) one another. 

Sass does an excellent job keeping the twist and turns coming, and I was on the edge of my SEAT so many times. You think you have it figured out, then, surprise bitch, guess again!

Sass nails the perfect balance of messy, horrifying, and heartwarming. You won't be able to stop until you figure out just what is really happening in this small town, so clear your day. I ate this campy, heart-pounding, thrill ride of a horror story UP and I am already excited to read it again.
