Tell Me What Really Happened

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for gifting me an ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) of this book in exchange for my honest review. HOWEVER, I’m RAGING right now…..Can someone tell me what happened? That’s what I want to know. SYNOPSIS: “I started thinking I should have just stayed home and read all weekend. Though, I’d just finished a book I really loved, and you know how sometimes you don’t want to start a new book because you’re still stuck in the world of the last one? No? Never? Gosh, you’re missing out.” This story is told from an 8-person point of view that gives a nice feel in understanding the entire tale. WHO. DONE. IT?!!! Four teenagers plan a last-minute camping trip to Salvation Creek, hours away from home...all on their own. Maylee, Abigail, Petra, John and Nolan decide to spend a weekend, camping in nature, completely away from civilization and cell phone service. Maylee disappears…then she winds up dead. REVIEW: This thriller is told in an 8-character interview style. I never expected to be one to like this style, but discovered with Daisy Jones & the Six and this book that I absolutely LOVE IT. For me, you get to know the character’s behaviors and personalities very well this way. Maylee has gone missing and each of her other 4 teen friends in the group are being interrogated by police following their short camping trip. Their relationships interweave and you discover how close (or unclose) they are. After arriving and pitching their tents at the campsite, things begin to unravel, and friendships and connections aren’t what they seem on the outside. This was a gripping story, and the interview style had my eyes racing from beginning to end with each page. And I’m not giving away any spoilers, but with as entranced as I was in this story, I was VERY much upset with how it ended in the last few pages. This went from a 5-star to a 2 star for me right up until the very end. I’m SOO disappointed.
