Thank you so much for sending me the widget for this YA thriller, however this book, as it turns out, is not for me. I definitely hope it finds its readers!

Who We Were in the Dark hooked me when I read the premise - giving me vibes similar to that of A Simple Favor and I had to know the bigger story. Unfortunately, where A Simple Favor grabbed me was the characters and this one didn't really achieve that. I felt the characters weren't relatable and honestly felt a little boring. The setting and plot were generally okay but nothing I would obsess over. I felt like I was waiting on the edge of my seat for some big reveal that just... never came?

This one is less thriller and more mystery, which maybe if I knew that going in I would have expected less and probably not have been left wanting more.

From the first paragraph, I knew this book would be a good one. I immersed myself into the book from the first chapter and I cannot say enough good things about this book! Honestly amazing! The writing is incredible and the plot is just one to die for. I am absolutely obsessed with this book. My favorite part would have to be the character development throughout the book. Character development is something I look forward to and this book did not disappoint.

This was a really good book, I read it in 16 hours (total) I was confused at some parts, and the book wasn’t really that suspenseful. The ending did feel underwhelming, but it was a pretty good journey overall!

This was more of a soft/light thriller, but it still was enjoyable!
