Grief is an ever-present theme within this novel and it could be said that it is the glue that holds the story together. Every moment is important and there is something about the way it is written that doesn’t let you tear your eyes away. The story never feels boring or slows down. After the introductory roll call, Mac discovers the note left behind by Connor and we are off to the races. We are introduced to the final victim’s four best friends, including our protagonist, Mac. The book begins by catching us up on what happened a year before when a serial killer claimed four victims then seemingly disappeared. From the creepy ocean town to the unlikely group of friends, this book hit all the marks I needed and was so nostalgic to me but still felt so modern and fresh. Hold on, I’ll make it a little bit more clear for y’all: I am head over heels in love with this novel.įor years, I have desperately searched for a book that captures the tone and spirit of my favorite 90s slasher film, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and I’ve finally found it. As soon as I finished, I wanted to read it again. I’m usually all in for murder mysteries from the get-go because the ones I choose are usually trashy and easy to just melt into. I had no idea what I was in for when I started this book.
