I loved this book so much. It was such a fun and wild ride, I could not put it down. I read the majority of it in less than 24 hours. I thoroughly enjoyed this entire ride. Our unreliable narrator, our unreliable friendships. All the twists and turns throughout were really really good. The only thing that fell flat for me was the ending honestly. I felt like the big reveal at the end was the least shocking of all the other mini reveals throughout. I definitely could have guessed who the culprit was, however I was led astray a few different times, and I never would have guessed the reasoning behind why the murderer did it. That part threw me for a loop. I also was confused by Kay's ending after the reveal. Unsure of what actually happened there, but I guess that might have been the point? Have the reader draw their own conclusions?

All in all I loved People Like Us, it was a fun, fast read that kept me guessing despite a lot of “textbook” mystery plot lines. If you're looking for an easy thriller that won't leave you completely heart broken and asking “what did I just read?” I would definitely recommend People Like Us.
