Alternating between past and present, Remy narrates the point from when she meets Elise to the fateful night. I really enjoyed the writing style and the way Lyu set up the story timeline. I don't want to get into specifics because I don't want to spoil anything but the intricacies of their relationship were really well done on the part of Lyu. The relationship between Elise and Remy starts out innocent enough but as the two learn more about each other, the deeper they are drawn into the toxicity and manipulation of their friendship. It's been a good long while since I read a toxic relationship book and I forgot how dark and twisty and intriguing they are. Was it self-defence? Or something more malicious? As Remy tries to piece together that night, the police start asking questions and Remy has to decide where her loyalties lie. Her boyfriend, Jack, is dead - shot in the chest by Remy's best friend, Elise. Seventeen-year-old Remy used to think she knew how her life was going to turn out. **TRIGGER WARNING: Parental/domestic abuse, suicidal discussion/attempt**
