This YA is a solid thriller that has a couple of twists and turns along the way. It has a little bit of everything you see in a YA book – teen angst, teen romance, mystery, a secret spot in the woods, bullies, small-town setting, etc. Cassidy Pratt was told that when she was a child, she started a fire that killed her neighbor. She has no memories for that day but her town; especially the town bullies remembers. When one of her biggest tormentors, Melody goes missing, Cassidy believes she has some information. She heard Melody before she went missing but is fearful because she planned how to get rid of Melody. Then she gets a text which reads: I’m so glad we’re in this together. What happened to Melody? Who is to blame? Is someone setting Cassidy up? Did Cassidy really want to get rid of Melody or was her plan just for fun? Who knows about Cassidy’s plan? Is Cassidy an unreliable character? Will the truth only add more sticks to the fire? I found this book to be a solid 3 star read. The beginning and end were strong. The middle lagged a little for me. Overall, an enjoyable YA book. I had an inkling who the culprit would be…will you? Thank you to Sourcebooks Fire and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
