Thank you so much to TBR and Beyond Tours for allowing me to take part in this tour for The Girl in Question. I've been interested in reading something from this author for a while and this gave me the perfect reason to. I was thrilled about getting the chance!!

High school is over, but Nora O’Malley’s life isn’t, which is weird now that her murderous
stepdad Raymond is free.
Determined to enjoy summer before her (possibly) imminent demise, Nora plans a ten day
backpacking trip with Iris and Wes. Her plans hit a snag when Wes’s girlfriend tags along.
Amanda is nice, so it’s not a huge issue—until she gets taken. Or rather, mistaken...for
Nora. All because of a borrowed flannel.
Now Raymond has a hostage. Nora has no leverage. Iris has a spear and Wes is building
boobytraps. It’ll take all of their skills to make it out of the forest alive.
There are three problems: Someone is lying. Someone is
keeping secrets.
And someone has to die.
Review:
I was pleasantly surprised by this book! I found that the author's writing style had me really interested in the plot and the characters. Even with a couple of issues, the writing style easily kept me hooked into the story.
The plot of this book was a pretty interesting one. It took me a bit to warm up to it, but I did eventually get hooked to the story. I wanted to know what else was going to happen during this story.
Most of the characters in this story were actually really interesting to follow and learn more about. Many of them were given a good amount of depth and realism that allowed for me to feel connected to the characters.
I will admit that I did have some issues with keeping tracking of the characters and the plots. It was a lot of characters to be introduced to and that made it hard for me to process at times.
