I Have Some Questions For You

I loved this - hear me out.
I love to read a good thriller when I'm in a reading slump, even if it's crap, I still enjoy it. However, this was not crap and it ended up being a really refreshing thriller mystery that was more of a slow burn.

This felt so true to how real life plays out. At the end of the day, you don't get the guilty convicted, you're not always right when you try to trust your gut, and the main character is not a great person or even really a hero. All of these characters feel so real with their petty hatred and love for each other and being hung up on their high school experiences because of this trauma bond that happens between all of them.

There's so many times when a crime is committed and there's not overwhelming evidence for just one person, so much of the details are speculative and circumstantial, and that's how every single one of these theories played out. I love that you never quite understand what happened. As someone who gets really frustrated with all the true crime podcast sensationalizing murder, I really appreciate what this novel was trying to do.

All that being said, I do think the book was a bit longer than I needed to be, and while the main character was meant to be flawed, at times she was straight up annoying. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and it was a really refreshing thriller to add to the library.
