"Forgot about this one, such a great read!! "

Hannah Morris

"I liked the book, but I didn't love the person who read it for the audiobook. For a long time I thought the characters were super young, but later realised it was just the way she read it. Great plot twist and a quick read. If you loved this book, I recommend The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma. "

"I love this book...and yes im aware this might be every unpopular option. I love the writing style..especially at the beginning where the author gives us readers only information we need to have at the moment in a form of almost a list of things...i love that. I love the plot twist! And i liked how the family was f-ed up...i like that kind of trope...what saddens me is that i will never read this book again as for the first time...🥲 and i need time to recover from this book...it made me feel sad and nostalgic and terrified when thinking how would i live my life after a tragedy like that...i love the short chapters!!!!! 🥰"

"Murky remembering and revisionist history showing how misleading memory can be, layering the truth slowly. Gut punch of a story. "

"Shocking plot twist!! Wish I can forget about it and read it again… Unpredictable plot twists are my favourite 😌"

"overhyped… it was actually not it. the only thing going for it was the plot twist. sure might be interesting on a second read but honestly don’t care enough about the characters to do so. also could not relate to the lavish privileges of all the characters, kinda annoying."

"I enjoyed the suspense that the plot brought on with each of the characters especially the main character that had been struggling to remember what happened to her on a fateful night. The ending had me crying for a while as it broke my heart, but made the ending more realistic for the plot than a happy ending."

"I heard people threw this book across the room why????!! "

Hana Smajis

"I did not like this book for personal reasons. In some scenes I found my self going back and rereading just to understand what I had just read. The plot twist was interesting, but it made me even more confused than I already was. Maybe it is just me and my lack of understanding somethings. But I honestly think the book could have been written a little better or could have been better at explaining what was really going on or just wording things differently. "
