Why the book title has the word “knife” in it when it should really be scissors I’m not sure…but forget that for a moment and get your hands on this book immediately! This is one of my favorite thrillers of the year. I looove dark academia and this one was just so good. If I didn’t already own so many books, I would buy a physical copy just to hold it and cherish it forever 🖤 
 
Ten years after graduating from Duquette University, Jessica Miller has plans to look dazzling, beautiful, and oh-so different than how she appeared in college, back when her friend Heather’s murder changed everything. When Jessica and her friends are reunited at their 10-year reunion, she and her friends discover that Heather’s younger brother is still on the hunt to find the murderer, and is convinced that one person from Jessica’s friend group is guilty. I wish I could read it again for the first time. So juicy, so thrilling, so intense. I loved every page.
