I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
After her dress was found in a river on prom night with no body in sight, Jenny is believed to be dead. Her ex-boyfriend and three classmates receive a text months later from Jenny, accusing them of killing her and saying she has proof.
I was interested in this book having just finished watching Pretty Little Lairs on Netflix and needed another mystery to take its place in my heart.
Sadly, this wasn't it.
Something about this book just didn't click for me, Jenny's character was just kind of meh, I didn't find myself completely absorbed in this book, I was just reading it to finish it but about 50% of the way through. Jenny was just kind of boring, nothing about her character really stood out and made me get behind her and say "I want to know who tried to kill Jenny". The other characters almost ran together in my head, I mean, I knew who each character was, but there was just something about them that didn't pull me in. The writing itself wasn't the best, the conversations that were going on throughout the book were cliched, the jocks calling each other bros, the popular girls calling each other bitch instead of saying hello. I don't know, I really wanted to enjoy this book but I only finished it in the end because I'd made it over half way. The book didn't have much suspense considering the basis for the story, with something just lacking, either the writing style, the dialogue or just the characters as a whole.
I loved the idea of this book, but there was just something about it that didn't hit the mark for me.
2/5 stars

To be spoiler-free, I'll just say that this book was not as suspenseful or thrilling as the summary had made me hope for. I wasn't scared for or invested in any of the characters at all, and even the twist didn't shock me. The stakes for the characters were too low, I think.

Jenny Lewis is dead, only she's not. She was assumed dead on prom night after her stuff was found and ruled as suicide with no body found.

Now, her friends are getting texts from her as she's alive and wants to know who tried to kill her that night.

Her friends are; Gabe a drug dealer and ex to her who was with Marissa a lot of Prom night, queen B Marissa who didn't like her much and made comments about her appearance a lot, Liam a guy who hangs around with Gabe, Kyla her could be girlfriend who she shared a kiss with before a situation between them occurs...

Ally is her old friend who came to fetch her when she saved herself that horrible night. She's also there helping figure out just what happened, but doesn't Jenny get that maybe those close are hiding something more?

Predictable unfortunately to me, however a great story behind the night with a Gossip Girl and Skins style edge with sex, drugs, overlapping relationships. She doesn't seem to realise that her friend could harbour a sour vengeance towards her. I would highly recommend!

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

I hate not being able to finish a book but infortunately I couldn't do it with this one. None of the characters were likeable and I had zero interest in the story .

THIS. WAS. SO. FREAKING. GOOD. Thriller, suspense, drama, ya, and crazy. Jenny was "killed" and now she is back to find out who tried to kill her and she isn't going to stop until she finds out. It was crazy, I couldn't put this book down for a second.

Please put this on goodreads, so I can write a review for it there! Thank you netgalley for the arc for an honest review. I loved it!!
