Thank you to Sourcebooks for my arc!


This book ended up being INSANE. That ending…. Moral of the story is don’t bully people.

A dark and twisty read, which I throughly enjoyed! It's a short book and fast paced, so I read it in a quick sitting. Perfect for fans of Karen McManus, and I am, so this turned out to be a delightful debut novel. I'm undecided about the final twist but overall I'm left with the feeling that I had a great time reading and couldn't put it down. so that's a winner in my book.
