This book answers the question of what if we mixed Fyre Festival and murder!
Thank you TBR and Beyond Tours and NetGalley for the chance to read and review this book!
Never Coming Home Came out on the 21st of June, and was published by Delacorte Press. This young adult thriller is definitely not Kate Williams first book; she's the author of The Babysitters Cover series.
promises of heaven unpacked in hell
Never coming home starts out pretty slow! At the start I was pretty sure I wouldn’t like it because we went through a few POVs and it seemed like it would be kinda boring. BUT WHEN IT PICKED UP IT PICKED UP! I read it in one night!
Basically 20% in I was hooked! Each character is pretty well crafted, really interesting and you’re really waiting to see what happens, who survives, and who was the killer. I was rooting for Manny throughout the book though!
You genuinely did not see the killer coming. It was odd to see that they engaged in the same sort of behaviour that allowed the others to get caught for their own crimes. Of course, the characters did engage in behaviour that we would imagine is typical of an influencer, and very few, except for Manny were capable of admitting it and possibly growing from it. It's also interesting to see what can be traced back to us online.
I don't think my actions have ever resulted in anything huge, but part of me does want to start cleaning up my stuff online just because of this book and all that happens!
Long story short, because I don’t want to spoil this, is that this is a 5 star book and I want more by Kate Williams!
But if you read the book, please reach out to me and let me know who you were rooting for!
