"my recommendation if you’re into mystery. it includes small details and hints at today’s world and messed up teenagers. amazing character development, and the plot twist could have anybody’s jaw dropped. hard to put down too. TW, there’s are small mentions of sa. it’s still amazing to reread over and over again. #YA #mystery #siblings #friendship #plottwists "
"I hadn’t heard anything about this book, but gods, it immediately drew me in. Tate did such a great job with this; not only is it an intriguing thriller, but there’s a great group of nerdy friends, a complex sister dynamic, and extremely relevant social commentary. I definitely recommend this one. (CW: blood, violence, kidnapping, drug use, sexual assault, parent death, HP references)"
"One of the most suspenseful yet amazing books! such great writing and so many emotions :)"
