I hope you had a great weekend! 

I’m keeping this review short because life.

Q: Do you prefer short or long reviews?

I tend to prefer longer reviews personally. Except for when I’m writing them. Then shorter somehow seems better. 

One-sentence summary:

Three once-close friends who have been out of touch for years decide to skip school together and accidentally stumble upon a murder.

-----

Karen McManus is a fabulous writer, and the characters and dialogue in this book were of the exceptional YA-caliber that she always seems to deliver. Although nothing about this book could be described as shockingly new to the genre, it was a compelling and easy read full of some fun twists and turns.

The climax hit at about the 90% mark of the book, which meant that for something in the mystery and thriller genre, there was a very loooooong epilogue that -- timing-wise -- didn’t feel quite right to me. I just wanted it to wrap up.

Despite the long ending, this is a super-solid mystery that is an incredibly fun read, so I recommend it for McManus fans or anyone who loves a solid YA mystery.

This comes out Nov. 30!

Thank you Delacorte Press/Random House for the ARC!
