 This was not the happiest book to start 2025 with. From the very beginning, we know that Greta is dead. We don’t know why but the story is being narrated by her friend Shane. This story is of a girl who had a picture-perfect life on the surface, but a troubled family underneath. The story revolves around what happens after she dies. It’s her friend Shane telling us about Greta about her friends and how all these interconnected stories take place after she’s gone. We do find out how and why Greta dies. Shane also breaks the fourth wall and starts blaming the readers. Which is an interesting tactic. I’d be hard-pressed to say I liked this book, but I didn’t hate it. If I was reading this, I might have DNFed it, but I was enjoying the audiobook. Which is odd as this is a slow book. The question of would I recommended to others maybe. Small chance but maybe.
