Their parents are all clear on one point--not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother's good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it's immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious--and dark--their family's past is.
The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn't over--and this summer, the cousins will learn everything.
I was a bit wary of Karen McManus’s writing. I read One of Us Lying a few years ago and found it highly overrated and underwhelming. However, the premise of this book was just too perfect to pass up. Clearly McManus has improved.
It’s not the most shocking mystery novel, I figured it all out a bit too early, and I can see some readers will find this book a bit underwhelming, but it is still very, very good. There are multiple twists in the book though, and I did not see a few coming.
the plot twist i love it .
The pacing is slow, but good if you prefer a more relaxed kind of mystery. The character development is missing, but they are a little entertaining regardless. There is no tension found anywhere throughout this and it reads more like a contemporary YA story. Recommended.
this book was lovely !
This family was a mess! And that ending was insane. But I had a great time reading this!
