In My Dreams I Hold a Knife

4.5 stars  Mystery thriller with element of dark academia following Jessica who goes to her college reunion desperate to show her group of friends that her success despite the terrible tragedy that stuck during their last year as student. 
Soo I kind of devoured this in a single day.  This felt like watching horrible people in a train wreck in slow motion, not really caring about what happened to them but being hella entertained.  The plot was pretty straightforward but most of the twists were good and others felt a bit flat to me.  The characters were definitely in the gray area, full of flaws but compelling enough for me to keep reading despite being baffled about most of their choices and thought process.  I really really liked the prose, and the pacing was well executed, I didn't felt bored one second even during the flashbacks and I thought nothing felt too abrupt or dragged out. 
Overall a very entertaining page turner, since it's my first read by this author I'll definitely check out her other books.
