Really liked this one. Super fast paced, finished it in two days. The chapters weren’t really chapters to be honest, considering they were 1-2 pages each chapter but I like a fast read. I think it was a nice quick YA novel to pick up.
Could definitely feel the heavy inspiration from Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder which is one of my favorites so I loved that. This book wasn’t nearly as dark as I expected it to be but I didn’t mind it.
I do wish the killer was closer to home. Like Jamie’s Dad, her teachers or something. Someone who gave Jessica a weird feeling. I think making it someone we didn’t really even see throughout the book was kinda a let down. I love when you find out the bad guy was there the whole time.
Also Jamie gave me Edward Cullen vibes with him watching Jess so much it made me laugh.
Just ordered another book by Vincent Ralph so I’m excited for that!
