I really liked this book! It really showed the value of life and how all choices lead you down a different path, but that doesn't make one choice better than others, as each life has it's own value and own disappointments, but it's choosing to make the best of what you have! Definitely a sad start, I could really feel her pain through the pages. I did stop for a few weeks as I lost momentum, but when I picked it back up, I sped through the remaining ¾. There were a couple of times where I was confused as to why she left a life, but I was happy with the turnout anyway. I did guess the ending about halfway through, but it didn't really affect my enjoyment of it and rooting for her happiness and a good life for her. Overall, I'd say a great book to see the importance of love and purpose and to appreciate what you have and the impact you make, even if you don't see it right now ❤️

Really had to force myself to continue this book. It was a twisty plot and, from what I remember from reading it, it was good, but I just really struggled to stick with it and didn't connect with it at all, although I've heard good things from others.

Great book, I was totally hooked for the whole thing, despite it being a bit slow. The end was incredible!

I read this 1-2yrs ago now so can't remember details, but I know that I LOVED this book, probably my favourite! It had some mystery at the start, fear through the middle that kept me absolutely hooked, some gut wrenching sadness, and a great rounded off ending which always makes me happy! I did guess the mystery person she was investigating, but only reasonably shortly before she found out herself and all the other events were exciting and gripping, and the suspense kept me awake at night (although I can be easily scared lol). So basically I highly recommend this for teens looking for some light suspense/horror/wtf moments, mystery, and little side of romance! 🤩
