I’ve read a lot of thrillers about small towns and crappy high school experiences but this was better than most. I like the running theme of how women are gaslit and told to down play the assault and harassment they experience. I think that aspect alone makes it more interesting than a lot of the other books floating around. It has a few first novel problems. I was pretty confident I knew what had happened to Kaycee and I turned out to be right. Still, I enjoyed the hell out of this. A lot better than some of the more popular books I’ve read.
