What I Didn’t Like:
- Some of the teenage girl inner monologue comes out at really unfocused. It can be hard to follow as it jumps from thought to thought. Accurate? Sure. But still hard to follow.
- James. He’s incredibly selfish and represents the worst kind of person. I couldn’t stand ANY of his scenes.
- The ending was too rushed and sort of a let down. I wanted more.
What I Did Like:
- Sofie and Cam. Together or separately these two are adorable. I especially love that they’re written in such a way to help you understand and almost relive that high school crush flutter.
- Well done red herrings. That’s all I’ll say, no spoilers.
- The last podcast was great! In fact, the whole idea of giving you podcast episodes as the book went on worked to support the story.
Who Should Read This One:
- Readers who like the idea of a cold case true crime podcast digging into a case and helping! This was a fun one. It is YA though, keep that in mind.
