Pretty solid story, but I didn't LOVE it. I liked seeing how the sisters relationship grew and changed. I knew a bunch of people who were in crosscountry so that was pretty cool to read a story centered around a sport people don't really focus on. I think the very end was pretty satisfying. Wish Noah would've faced more consequences tho.

A very average YA thriller — not the best plot, but it kept me hooked at times. Noah is an asshole.

I really really enjoyed this book. Ya thrillers are very hit or miss and this hit the majority of its beats. I enjoyed the story of sisterhood and how women are often perceived a certain way and it impacts how they are treated by the men in power. I liked the brief inclusion on how this perception of women impacts races differently. 

However, it did slip up in the end and the cause-effect did not seem to add up for certain characters and the ending was a but abrupt.

This book is told from the perspective of two sisters, Stella and Ellie. I like both of the sisters well enough. I preferred Stella as a character but having Ellie’s perspective really helped the book. I loved their relationship as sisters and appreciate that they had legitimate flaws and were rounded individuals.
I also appreciate the candid thoughts on being a women with power and something to say. The author had some really good lines in the book. If it was something I owned I think I would have highlighted or underlined several lines. She tied in discussions about the pressure of high school athletics well.
I legitimately was left wondering until the end and enjoyed the character development that occurred through out.

As for diversity in the book: sexualities are discussed and there are a couple POC individuals. That being said the sisters are not POC.

something doesn't add up for me... if Raven just dropped Mila down and left her there dead, why was there a blood trail? why did Ellie and Noah not find her body when they looked in the pit later in the day? why was there a blanket covering her body? 
just for these questions I'm gonna tale off one star, so overall 3 ⭐

I kinda guessed the mystery for this one but I still liked the character-building in the story. It was mostly fast-paced except it was a bit repetitive. But overall I enjoyed it
