Week 42 Review: Tell Me What Really Happened

From Goodreads:
The Breakfast Club meets The Usual Suspects in this riveting YA mystery told entirely through the first-person police interviews of four teens over the course of several hours that asks: what happened at Salvation Creek?

An influencer, an over achiever, a heartthrob, an outcast, and a conspiracy theorist go into the woods for a camping trip at Salvation Creek.

Sometime around midnight, one of them vanishes.

Now, the four who came back are under suspicion, and they each have a very different story to tell about the events of the night.

With one of them missing, and the clock ticking, why would they lie? Who is hiding what? And what dark truths will their lies reveal?

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I really enjoyed her other book, and this one sounded like a great mystery, and it was, it was compelling and I had to know what had really happened, what the truth was! Reading about these teens who had one of their number disappear, I loved it!

The way this story was told with the interviews was such an interesting narrative choice, and one I'm glad was made, and how it told us this story! The way information was given to us, and figuring out which pieces were important, I loved that! 

Characters really came to life in this book, they were all their own distinct person, and they all had their own story to tell. And since we didn't know what had happened, well, it was hard to know who to trust-heck, maybe all of them were working together! 

One thing that I've learned from investigation media, is that eyewitness testimony is not the most reliable. When there were only the 4 of them around to interview, and something went on, well, yeah, I loved how that, and Bigfoot, played into the story! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Chelsea Sedoti!
