☼SYNOPSIS



Ivy, Mateo, and Cal used to be close. Now all they have in common is Carlton High and the beginning of a very bad day.


Type A Ivy lost a student council election to the class clown, and now she has to face the school, humiliated. Heartthrob Mateo is burned out--he's been working two jobs since his family's business failed. And outsider Cal just got stood up.... again.


So when Cal pulls into campus late for class and runs into Ivy and Mateo, it seems like the perfect opportunity to turn a bad day around. They'll ditch and go into the city. Just the three of them, like old times. Except they've barely left the parking lot before they run out of things to say...


Until they spot another Carlton High student skipping school--and follow him to the scene of his own murder. In one chance move, their day turns from dull to deadly. And it's about to get worse.


It turns out Ivy, Mateo, and Cal still have some things in common. They all have a connection to the dead kid. And they're all hiding something.


Now they're all wondering--could it be that their chance reconnection wasn't by chance after all?



REVIEW


★★★★


Rating: 3 out of 5.


this was quite a disappointing read for me so we’re not off to a great start.

you’ll be the death of me was actually one of my most anticipated releases of 2021 and it did not delivered as much as I thought it would.



we are actually following very unlikable main characters,to be fair I just didn’t like them. 

they were very childish but then at the same time they were dealing with grown-up stuff but.


they just kept arguing about the stupidest things ever when being in this very complicated legal position and they just couldn’t focus on it and couldn’t let go of stupid things that happened when they were children and they just kept bringing it up and it bothered me.


to be completely honest it didn’t make sense to me I did not like the ending of this book.

I just hate when it all comes down to drugs and I felt like it was lack of an actual reason.


i’m actually very glad that I decided to spend one of my audible credits on this book because otherwise I don’t know if I would’ve been able to finish it it just got.. boring.



overall not one of the best YA mystery thriller books out there for sure but if you still want to read it and gather your own opinions I will encourage you to because from what I’ve seen there has been people that have actually enjoyed it.

looking back on it maybe three stars is even a bit high.
