WOWOWOWOWIE.

So I was IMMEDIATELY skeptical of this book, when it mentioned Harry Potter in the first few minutes. However, I gave it a chance because the last book by Diana Urban that I read was so so so gripping.  When it was the movie score she was listening to, and that she was an aspiring music major/movie score composer, I found it very fitting and decided to let it slide. 

This book was bananas. Like a teenage version of Saw. Everyone had secrets. Everyone had motive. And at some point, everyone looked guilty. Around the halfway mark I was fairly certain I knew who was behind it all, and I ended up being right. That didn't take away from my enjoyment at all. I could tell who the culprit was, but not how the pieces were going to fit together. The ending was VERY satisfying and I cannot wait to read more from Diana Urban!

Random bits and bobs:
*The love triangle was everything I didn't know I needed in a locked door mystery.
*The timeline jumps that slowly revealed secrets were done really well.
*The timing of each reveal was PERFECT
*The characters all had established, unique personalities and ambitions
*This book made me SO GLAD I am no longer a teenager
*This book made me think of movie scores I resonate with
