The Thrashers by Julie Soto
4.0

**ARC and ALC review**

If you're into twisty, turny shows like 13 Reasons Why or Pretty Little Liars, you're gonna eat this book up. It's got that same addictive quality.

Basically, we dive right into a town reeling from the suicide of Emily, a 17 year old who dies on prom night. Right from the get go, you're like, "What happened?" Then, we meet the Thrashers – think super rich, popular kids, the kind everyone's obsessed with. And let me tell you, they're definitely hiding something.

This book grabbed me from page one (or, well, minute one, since I did the audiobook too!). It's a real rollercoaster, with all these unexpected twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. As a YA book, it totally nails that mix of drama, suspense, and teenage angst that the target audience will love.

Eva Kaminsky and Jesse Vilinsky were fantastic! Their narration really brought the characters to life. I did an immersion read, which is where you read along while listening to the audio, and honestly, it was such a great experience. I highly recommend it if you can!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, Wednesday Books for an ARC of this book and Macmillan Audio, Macmillan Young Listeners for an ALC of this audiobook. I voluntarily read and listened and gave an honest review.
