Holly Jackson started writing stories from a young age, completing her first (poor) attempt at a novel aged fifteen. From the author of the Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy comes a gripping cat-and-mouse thriller fizzing with suspense, as a group of friends en route to the beach end up in the crosshairs of a deadly sniper.

Any sixteen-year-olds would expect trouble, but this is Northern Ireland 2018, where abortion is still illegal. Jackson ensnares readers in another highly addictive web, woven from the dark shadows of small-town secrets.none of the characters are likeable and i didnt care if any of them died, the one setting itself (RV on the side of the road) isnt exciting, and the “secret” is very predictable. her inner monologues were also very irritating to read and i just hate the broken-girl-get-saved-by-the-supposed-bad guy trope. i thought that this thriller would keep me hooked from beginning to the end, but that’s not what happened.

when i was close to reach the 85% mark it became boring again and i realized i wasn’t invested in the story anymore. The resolution of the entire mystery is over the top and wild, which isn’t a deal breaker for me, but here it felt as if the author was attempting to reach a more adult audience while writing a YA novel, and it just clashed.To access your ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose.

the characters in here were definitely a mixed bag- some I genuinely liked, others were meh and even some inspired murder (can you guess who that last one is? I wasn't expecting it to get as dark as it did, but it definitely made sense for the context of the story.
