I did like this book but I felt confused reading into it , the storyline was great and the relationship between Nate and Bronwyn was what made me finish this book.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
I really canât write reviews without talking about plot or characters so ya. I really enjoyed Addys character because I thought she developed the most from feeling worthless to being a badass and realizing she doesnât need a man to show her her worth. Also, I liked the plot twist about Cooper being gay because it wasnât hinted at throughout but u just thought it was another girl. It didnât feel like a PR stunt but genuine and fit with his character. Plus, Kris is a vital character at the end who helps fit the pieces together.
I did, however, guess that Simon was the one who orchestrated everything. Iâm not saying this to brag or say itâs bad writing, but that it has been done before. The whole plot with the gossip and emerging felt very Pretty Little Liars-Esque to me. Although I did enjoy it a lot.
I feel like they should have pieced things together sooner given all the evidence they had but thatâs just me being picky. I highly recommend this book for YA readers and mystery lovers.
