I loved this book. It loses a half point because the beginning was slow at some points and the ending was partially predictable (I'll go into more detail at the bottom under spoiler tags). Otherwise, it was amazing. The characters aren't always great people, but you can see why they're doing certain things. The last quarter of the book was my favorite part, because questions started getting answered and pieces started falling into place, just for more questions to be brought up.
I said the ending was partially predictable, and by that I mean Ellie's involvement. Around the time Mila disappeared, the book started focusing much more heavily on Stella's POV and never explained where Ellie was the morning, making it fairly easy to realize Ellie wasn't innocent. However, Raven's involvement was COMPLETELY unpredictable. She would've been the last one I guessed. I did like that it made us think it was just Ellie and Noah, only to reveal that Raven did much worse.

I loved this book and read it in one day. it's a story focused on two sisters who even though they are not perfect people I actually found very likeable. The story is about the pressures girls face particularly

This was a really good story. I enjoyed this even though the writing style wasn’t amazing. I thought the final twist was… okay. I didn’t see it coming, but it wasn’t really an aha moment. Also, I found the storyline about Coach being a villain was confusing and underdeveloped. I did really like the whole Allison Tarley storyline, though. I think this author tried to shove a few too many storylines into one shortish book. Although I guess that is reflective of life!

I would say this book is truly “meh”. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t thrilling or unpredictable by any means. I wasn’t really on the edge of my seat and I was left waiting the entire time for it to get interesting, but it never did. There are just so many better YA mysteries out there.
