And even better, literally no character in this book feels totally flat even very minor side characters are given sympathetic moments that they wouldn’t get in any other book. While the characters felt occasionally hard to keep track of at the beginning of the book, it’s hard to overstate how much the character focus helped my reading experience – there were so many possible suspects and motives that I had no clue who it could be. And thankfully, that is exactly my genre of thriller. It’s a book where everyone is holding secrets, everyone has something up their sleeve. It’s more like a twisted web of character dynamics that just got me more and more enthralled. It’s almost a love triangle, but it’s also… not. Most of which are either vaguely twisted and/or vaguely gay. People Like Us is a thriller driven first and foremost by character dynamics. ya girl just read and adored an arc of the fucked up sapphic Heathers-esque bookand is officially living life to the fullest. But I swear to god Dana Mele could have been looking into my brain’s idea of a perfect YA thriller and STILL would have nailed it. But I was not actually really expecting this to be one of my favorite YA suspense novels of all time. I knew going into this that I was going to enjoy it.
