I also had a theory that Dean was the 'You' killer because of a mininterpreted line ("showing dean why he's here" i thought said 'not here'), but my theory still stood. I think 'You' had something in connection to the Natural program. He says "no manner how many there are, no matter how proficient you've become at showing them whst you are, there is a part of you that knows.", meaning he'd trying to prove himself.

I think mystery books are making me crazy.
Actually, not just think. I know I'm going crazy. Heck, I was right about accusing every single person in this dang natural program /but/ the actual killer. A lot just happened to my thought process over the course of 5 pages. Too much, actually. But I never did expect that plot twist.

..So I was right. But more that I think about it, that plot was too easy.

Anyway I think the killer is Cassie's father now. I think she mentioned him once like a few 30 pages ago, please don't ask me to look it up. That, or it really is Dean as a killer. (I'm sorru guys, I really think he's scaring me. Is it just me?)

"Have you ever seen /The Bad Seed?/"
Hi Everyone, I'm Annalise and I'm way too immersed in this story (Mainly Dean's) to only be 30 pages in today.

But anyway, I did my research, and if Micheal and Dean know eachother enough to slip neat jabs that Cassie doesn't pick up on, so be it. But I do, because I'm really trying my best to predict this plot..

TLDR: My theory of Dean being the 'YOU' killer stands refueled.

These naturals are really smart. Like, Cassie thinks something and immediately everyone knows what or why or the answer to whatever the heck she said. I'm pretty sure this is going to go away after this book, but we can never be so sure.
I wonder if the other naturals use Truth Or Dare to scope out newcomers. It's obvious they each can read eachother (by proximity), but is this ToD just a ploy to read Cassie?

I've always been immersed with the idea of mysteries and solving them myself. I suppose that's why I'm so desperate to pick out foreshadowing from assumable red-herring-throwaways.
Anyway, I wonder if this detail on Dean's right-thumb to wrist scar is significant to his backstory and why he isn't as keen to talk with Cassie. If it's from the base of his right thumb, he couldn't have shielded himself in defense..

Lastly, this page says "Lia's specialty is deception, She had an uncanny knack for being able to tell when people are lying" further proves my "you pov is a past natural" theory. i think our killer is a decepter because of the quote he said in his second 'you' excerpt. This further proves my theory.

I also think I'm already hooked on the mystery on day 1 of reading.. yay.

So I (had) a mini theory that the 'You' POV excerpts were from the killer of Cassie's mom, though that's really obvious. When 'You' says "there's nothing special about the girl you've chosen, except for the color of her hair. it reminds you of someone else." could connect back to the auburn hair both cassie and her mother shared, as in the chapter before Cassie mentioned her hair looked "more brunette than auburn"

lise!! Either he's a past member trying to go against the naturals with this knowledge he gained before going down a subsequently lower path, trying to separate himself from the naturals. or he's teamed up with these killers recently, and is trying to prove his worth. No matter what, it still says he's killing to show /someone./


lise!! 'You' also says "Names that He used to call you." in page 36, could this implicate someone in the program? if 'you' was in the program, is thst why 'you' says 'the way you've shown many others-- how that just won't do'? because he can read other people's lies like the naturals seem to possess?
