Everything's pretty much a Gen-Z paradise. Except that one member of the house has just turned up dead in the infinity pool. And the rest of them are suspects.
When the group TikTok account starts posting cryptic messages about the murder, the police limit their investigation to the members of the house. Now old joke videos are filed as evidence and past rivalries start to look like motives.

The plot was good at first but near the end the plot started to get converted and not as well thought out. The beginning of the mystery was airtight but as you read on more plot holes could be poked in. Some of the characters endings did not line up to the characters action nor words. Writing for a large cast of characters was a brave undertaking and I have only seen a few authors pull off where not character is favored and they all seem distinctly different. Sadly this is not one of them. Often I would forget whoâs POV it was and have to go back.
Gwen and Cami definitely got the most attention out of the gang. The characters were not quite 3D and usually having only one or two distinct character trait. The author explored their troubles and life most.
Kat and Beau felt more like side characters as well as the police were unrealistically incompetent to the point that it was childish. I would expect grown adults to know how to do their jobs better.
I wish Kat was more explored, I know nothing about other then the fact that she is an influencer.
With all that, the book still managed to be gripped and keep my attention long enough for me to binge it. The writer has a special way with words. The way some words are phrased make them sound like confessions when the character is talking about something completely different. I donât know why I like this book, I just do.
All in all I give it a 5/10
