I loved this book so much, and to be honest I did not expect the ending at all. I really enjoyed how the second you thought that it was finally over, one last plot twist was thrown at you. The book overall was extremely tense and every chapter left you wanting to read more. I obviously give this book a five out of five star rating just because of how much fun I had while reading it. If i'm being honest, I even considered setting up my own murder board at some point to try to figure out what happened.

I genuinely never expected for Andie's sister to be the killer. From the beginning I had gone along with my own theory that Andie had killed Sal then run away. I guess in the end it did make sense, especially because of how wrapped up in her own world Andie was constantly. After the notes started rolling in, I thought more towards the idea that it had been Naomi, but little did I know that the killer was living in the same house as one of the biggest suspects.
