This was Pretty Little Liars (but good) meets Gossip Girl meets Get Out. Before I read this book, if anyone had told me that these three things would make a good combo, I'd have laughed them out of the room. But man, the execution on this was sublime.
There's not a lot I can say about this book without giving something away. I think it's best to go into this with as little information as you can.
The only reason I docked half a star was because the characters took a little too long to figure out the WhyDunnit of the big mystery, and honestly, in the year of our lord 2022, it should have been their very first guess.
