Why read it?

2 authors picked I Know What You Did Last Summer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Everyone needs a little camp in their lives. This book is about the “OG” group of friends who get entangled in a hush-hush death and are hunted and haunted (literally!) by the secret. It even inspired an equally campy and fun-filled movie starring young Hollywood stars from the ’90s!

We literary types often forget that books are meant to entertain. I love being transported to an absurd world with high drama, rollercoaster twists and turns, and a central mystery so far out there that you’ll roll your eyes, laugh, and keep turning those pages with abandon.

From Robin's list on friends guarding a killer secret.

Don't put off reading this book just because you watched the film. Duncan has expertly written a timeless, gripping thriller that is sure to get your heart pounding.

The characters are both relatable and detestable as they maneuver their way through the out-of-control situation they created for themselves, and much like the dark road they found themselves on, there are twists and turns at every corner.

There isn’t much to not love in this book, and it moves so briskly you won’t know what hit you as you turn the final page.
