"She plans the perfect murder and then it happens. Scared of being implicit in the murder, she tries to figure out who did it.

"It was a wonderful plot, don’t get me wrong. Insane twist. But the writing was just a bit too confusing and immature for my taste and it made me hate it.. 😢"

"The bulk of the novel was utterly unexceptional, but I loved the ending so much it bumped my rating up to 4 stars. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, but I still felt it was worth the read."

"The cover of this book is what got me to read it because of the doll on the front!!! This was good quick YA thriller with a few twists along the way. It has teen romance, Angst, a small town, and a mystery that you might want to figure out. I wish there was more of the finding clues to figuring out the mystery of who murdered somebody, but it was hardly. If you’re into reading young adult books this would be for one for whoever to read."

"Hey y’all, if you enjoy thriller books that keep your pages turning & your anticipation growing; I HIGHLY recommend this book! It was a wild ride by far & every time I thought I figured things out, something else happens to make me second guess. I absolutely love this book & I hope to bring it more attention because I feel it is greatly undervalued. Please let me know what you think if you do read it! Thanks :) "
