Thanks for netgalley and the author E.J.Schwartz and the publisher for providing the book!

This book was the most beautiful contemporary book i have read in recent times.
I love the fact that the author wrote the eating disorder issue in very neat manner not by sugar coating the topic. It even helped me to learn about this disorder deeply since i don't have this disorder personally. No part in this book seems boring or exaggerated. Everything was in a flow to read in one sitting. The portrayal of friendship was the favorite for me to read.

I can't believe that this book is the author's debut. I'm more welcome to read her future works. Her writing was rich and beautiful and easy to indulge with the characters mood. The story felt so realistic. Reading the two characters point of view was so brilliant and enjoyable to read. This book hooked me in the first page itself.

If you love friendships, teenager girls, coping with illness and sad devastating story, This book is definitely for you.

A perfect serial killer and it's also written in his point of view, which i read it for first time.
Kate with past trauma and having frequent panic attacks about the specific event who moves from London to Boston by switching her apartment to her cousin Corbin. But the swapping made her to think it's a wrong decision because of the murder from her neighbor's. What will she do?

Peter gave me the shadowy reveal of the main killer by showing the side character from the beginning of the story. They both share some same similarities. Also the author revealed the killer in the halfway of the book itself. But still kept the mystery throughout the end. There were two parts. The whole second part dedicated to the psychotic killer's POV which made me to grip to the book without dropping it down. But i felt it was over explaining oflittle little things like ‘he sat down and drank the milk'.. and after touching the happy end, author extended the pages with no need.
Another thing that bothered me was that this book was written in 2017, where social media messaging and tech was in high. But the characters communication was email messaging and writing letters. That made me wonder why?! But i enjoyed very well over all. Best mystery of 2021 for me.

I felt that whole 300 pages effort was failed in the process of opening the ending twist.. it felt silly. It's not feeling practical. Lowen Character was weakly written. But I really liked the thriler/suspense ambience throughout the book.

3 ⭐️
Liked it. Enjoyed it. It's Neutral.
The interview scene between Annabelle and Alisha was intelligent. Loved it.
I loved the fact that this book doesn't only about cute meet fluffy romance. But also the author gave a pinch details here and there about some real business talks. That's very likeable.
Not liking it throughout. Not hating it though.

I feel, that this book is written for movies or series. the writing style is moreover follows a movie script/ screenplay fit format. The only problem for me is that the book follows too descriptive following of day after day routine in the camp, which distracts and bored me at times. And Lale-Gita's sharing of love is not that much glued for me.
