⁕ This gave major true crime vibes. Despite this being a story about high schoolers, the epistolary style (i.e. the inclusion of interviews, texts, etc. between the characters) will be favorable to folks who enjoy podcasts like Serial.
⁕ The fast paced nature of the book, with additional clues and developments every few pages, made it un-put-downable. I finished it in less than 24 hours.
⁕ The characters are pretty flat and one-dimensional, but this didn't bother me as much because I was more absorbed in the mystery.
⁕ My biggest beef with this book is how unbelievable some of the main character's actions were. You're gonna tell me that an underage high schooler can get away with sneaking out at night, questioning drug dealers, etc., all while documenting it for a school project and she DIDN'T get caught or hurt? Yeah right...
