I had an absolute BLAST with this book. The twist and turns were so fun and at no point did I guess how this was going to end. I found Garrett's writing to be fun, quick and to the point. She hit her plot point perfectly. In terms of thrillers, this was solid and quite a fun ride. I would highly recommend it.

Me: "A girlfriend is staying with her boyfriend at an AirBnB, and she wakes up one morning and finds a dead lady at the bottom of the stairs. And the boyfriend is missing!"
7 yo: "The boyfriend did it."
Me: "Seems that way but authors like to trick you in mystery books."
7 yo: "They're allowed to do that!?"

Yes, yes they are allowed.

This started off slightly rough for me-- some of the phrasing felt a little clunky and it took a hot minute to really get everything going. But things ramped up and I got sucked into the plot. I loved the shades of complicated female friendships, internet mob mentality, and toxic influencer culture tackled in this story. I'm definitely going to pick up her previous novel sometime soon. 4 stars.

Early copy recieved via NetGalley.
