Finally finished! Overall it was a good story and was interesting. There were some parts that seemed to drag a bit, but I didn’t expect the ending. I started to think I MIGHT know the resolution, but not all of the details. Also thank f*** for the epilogue. I was gonna be pissed.

I think if I read this book in high school I would have absolutely been obsessed. It’s not bad by any means, but I do think it’s written for a certain age bracket. I feel like people who watch Riverdale would really like this lol

Don't get me wrong, I loved this book. Or at least I liked the last half of the book. It was a bit slow going at first, but got much better! Called the ending, which was unfortunate, but it was still a great book! Highly recommend it!

This was the Breakfast Club meets modern teen drama (think Pretty Little Liars or 13 Reasons Why) and I enjoyed it! I thought the actually discovery of how the death unfolded was a little flat, but still a fun read!

This book was a quick, easy read. There was not a ton of diversity, other than a few mentions, which was a little disappointing. The characters that did have some quality of diversity didn’t explore it all that much, and it was kind of shoved into minor details. But it was an interesting story, with some twists and turns that weren’t all expected. I wish there were some trigger warnings for suicide and romanticizing school shootings.

GODAMMIT!!! All I wanted was a great fucking twist. Apparently, that was too much to ask for!! 😩😩
It wasn't a bad book, but definitely not worth all the damn hype. I need time before rating cause I really don't want to anger rate.

A 3.8/5 stars would be a good review for this book.

The plot was pretty teen high school based, which is what I expect. However, the issues that the characters went through are super realistic and based on stuff that actual teenagers have to go through, like bullying and coming out sexually. The different povs were confusion, especially with the dates to follow, but maybe that's just a me thing. The plot-twist came in superrrrr late, but I like how they all got together to figure it out. I will purchase the next books, hopeful that Bronwyn and Nate get back together because, they were robbed. Slay the gang and hopefully nobody dies in the next book, in detention....
