Jessica Goodman meets Jesse Q. Sutanto in this twisty enemies-to-lovers thriller, full of secrets, privilege, and murder. Eighteen-year-old Addie Blackwood regrets nothing more than one horrible, mistake-filled night last summer. Hours after she hurled the worst words she could think of at her sister, Fiona was found dead at the bottom of a ravine. The police ruled her death an accident, but Addies never bought it. Her ballet-prodigy sister didnt slip and fall; she was pushed. And Addies number one suspect: Thatcher Montgomery, the rich kid down the street who always had a thing for Fiona. But when Thatcher is found dead in the same ravine, Addie must admit she was wrong. And now her only ally (and alibi) in catching the real killer is none other than her childhood rival, Seth MontgomeryThatchers cousin and the boy shes always loved to hate. Arguing with Seth is easy; working with him without thinking of that night last summer, near impossible. As Addie and Seth dodge corrupt police and his even more corrupt family, their investigation pulls them closer than ever before. But as they approach the explosive and murderous truth, their growing bond may not be enough to keep Addie safein fact, it may turn her into the next victim.

While not raving, this YA gothic-feel mystery/romance was pretty good. Neighbor children (have and have nots) grew up together. As young adults (18-21), two end up mysteriously dead in a ravine on the property of the “haves”. The sister and cousin of the victims investigate and everyone is a suspect.

robinb villain, the reasoning behind the initial murder seemed a bit overblown/far-fetched to me. But I was still onboard otherwise. An enjoyable atmospheric read. 4.25/5⭐️ #coverlove (edited) 5mo
