This book was way too slow until it wasn’t. It took me ages to get through. The first 200 ish pages could have easily been squished into about 25 pages. HOWEVER the last 140 ish pages were amazing and I read the entire 140 pages in about an hour or so

Ruby starts a new school part way through Year 11, and on her first day finds a note on her locker saying "I Know You Did It" which she thinks is in reference to something that happened when she was four years old. When other pupils start dying she realises she's being framed for their murders.

Very easy read, generally pleasant. Feel as though the author tried very hard to be relatable. Good levels of LGBT+ and racial diversity.

Reveal at the end was rather obvious and therefore disappointing.

Well paced and did make me want to keep picking it up.
