![]() What April Fools really needed was higher stakes, more dire consequences, and a better fleshed-out villain than the one we got at the end. ![]() I wish the book had spent less time on pranks and fake scares, even though that was very much in line with the theme and title.

For most of the book, I was struck by how badly Belinda needed to find better friends. I thought for sure I had figured it all out. I didn’t predict the ending, so kudos to Cusick for that. The rest of the book didn’t quite live up to the promise of this scene, but it was still an enjoyable read. I was immediately invested in Belinda’s anxiety around the horrible decisions her friends were making. ![]() It flies out of the gate with a very believable and terrifying car accident. April Fools features one of the best opening chapters I’ve read in my Point Horror reviews. ![]()
