That is where the excitement ends though. The story is a good bit different than the movie. I think the accident with the 10 year old would have been better than an hold man. Other than that I think this is one of those rare times where the movie was better than the book.And we won't be talking about that dumb AF show.

Summary: Four teenagers receive a threatening note that reads, “I know what you did last summer.” These teens have a dark secret that they thought only they knew, but now, they realize that they have been found out. They don’t know who the note-writer is or what he or she is planning to do with the information. All they can do is wait and prepare for the worst.

I came across this book sometime last year at a library book sale. I didn't know this was a book. I watched the movie a long time ago and I've watched it several times since then. When I saw this at my local library I decided to get it because I actually really liked the movie and I assumed I would enjoy the book just as much if not more. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for this book.

As I mentioned above I watched the movie long before I ever read the book so its possible that if I had done it the other way around I would have actually really enjoyed the book. I was expecting this to be pretty similar to the movie but it was completely different.

I can't really get into all the details of everything that's different without spoiling the whole book so this is going to be a hard one to review. Most of the characters were so annoying. Even though I watched the movie and knew how it was going to end because of all the changes I didn't know the who did it aspect but it was all very predictable. It's classified as a suspense thriller and to me the suspense was severely lacking.

I know this review makes absolutely no sense but I just don't know what to say about it. I think the only reason I even continued reading this book was because I had seen the movie and loved it.
