adventurous mysterious fast-paced

excellent book, i love it, and i predicted almost nothing correctly, so that’s great plotting on karen m. mcmanus’ part

thoughts while reading

p10: and how did i know aunt helen’s best-selling novels would be smut

p14: brousin 😎

p20: oh dear lord if autumn is

prostituting herself or selling drugs

i might cry

p23: oh wow, a different infliction for each dad, that never occurred to me

p39: i knew i wanted

mateo

to be the love interest

p43: angus mcfarland, a scottish name if i ever heard one

p97: DON’T TELL HER SHE MIGHT BE THE KILLER (probably not since she’s presented as suspect so early on, but still)

p98: or it could be lara’s friend

p102: oh i think

ivy

took lara’s bag

p130: i had to google “y/y text meaning” and i’m still none the wiser

p151: oh lord don’t tell me

amber

is involved somehow. purely speculating here

p159: ah, i suspect that could be the reason for the three circled names.

lara just assumes it’s mateo that’s selling, not autumn

p225: if D is

daniel

, i swear…!

p227: oh lax is lacrosse, i see

p230: are you kidding me cal! friends don’t do that!

p251: i mean, i wouldn’t

p255:

gabe

? oh dear lord

p261: the answer is clearly in front of my face too and yet i still can’t see it

p264: i literally have no idea who that could be!

p268: funnily enough

coach kendall

did flash through my head on p220

p314: oh man don’t even

p321: wait wait wait WAIT are you KIDDING ME
