I feel like this is an underrated book. It's very different from what you think it's going to be - a more straightforward mystery/thriller. It's about friendship and love and obsession and it's nuanced and dark.

I admit I read it because - well, because Malinda Lo is always incredible! - I had put it as a One of Us is Lying read-alike and wanted to confirm. I do think it's still a good option for that but more sophisticated. I thought the POV shift in part two was very interesting and done well, though I could see how it would not be for everyone.

Anyway, if you're looking for a complicated, queer thriller with unlikeable characters you still want to root for, I think this is for you!
