Overall this was a fast paced read. Once I sat down to read it time flew by. I was hooked. I was intrigued to know what happened.

I had multiple suspects. Even one who I couldn’t really figure a motive out. But I just had a feeling he was hiding something. Which is turns out technically he was. But not a bad thing. He was actually a nice guy. My bad.

The other suspects I kept bouncing between. If I thought I had settled on someone the next second a new clue or hint would emerge making me question my theory. I could never just pick someone.

Basically if you knew Olivia you were a suspect to me. I couldn’t trust anyone.

The reveal made the most sense. Especially with a few clues and hints given but I’m not sure if I like it or not. Part of me expected something else.
I don’t know what but maybe having so many theories and suspects it would be hard to shock me. So I feel off about it.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the reason behind Abi lying to Olivia about who her father was. I just expected some darker reason than that. I get why she felt some fear. But at the same time I just thought dumb scared kid.

The ending itself. Well the last chapter and the epilogue were heartbreaking. I felt so sad for them.

This was a solid mystery and I’m definitely wanting to pick up something else by Christina McDonald.

Trigger warnings: suicide (mentioned as it happens in the past),
