I loved all of the unexpected events that happened throughout the book, and especially the ending. My mind was completely blown.

I read the original Confessions about Colton a long, long time ago on Wattpad and while I remember nothing from it, I remember enjoying so the title peaked my interesting. It had me hooked and wanting more this time, just like it did last time.
I read it so long ago that I didn't even remember who the murderer of the story was and once the revel happened, it wasn't who I expected it to. Though I don't remember it well, I don't think that it's very different from the original one that was on Wattpad.
I liked the characters and the mystery well enough. Elliot, who is trying to solve his best friends murder while grieving, his sister Cass and Colton's girlfriend, Lydia. The only negative thing that I have to say is that I often found myself wondering why the murderer was leaving hints behind? Wouldn't you want to try to keep yourself as discrete as possible? Though, I guess that is explained later on.
Overall, I enjoyed this! I also really like the cover!

Another one of my wattpad favorites. And I am so glad this is going to get published and so many out there will finally be able to read this gem of a book. A fantastic thriller with numerous twists and turns to keep you hooked throughout.
The feels you get reading it for the first time is unparalleled. Heartbreaking and an emotional roller-coaster.
