This was a nice quick read, an intriguing plot which kept the mystery throughout! I also audibly gasped at one particular point! 

It was also an interesting look at bullying, school politics, domestic violence and friendship! Some deep themes for an overall lighthearted book!

This was an amazing book! I kinda want to give it 5 stars but something is holding me back. Very well written, I sorta liked the flashback-like things, sorta didn’t, they really didn’t seem necessary in the end but they definitely kept the flow of the book going. Author did a great job of including humor im a sad story that tackles many issues. Great “twist” at the end. One thing that really bothered me was acc very insignificant, but the author used a bunch of the same names for characters as in What Alice Forgot (one of her other books). It was so confusing, because I originally thought that maybe the books were connected, but no, the author just was using the same names for completely different characters. lol

This was such an unexpected five stars for me! I was so invested in the characters and story it was hard to put down. On the surface it seems like a very superficial book filled with Karen’s and petty drama but underneath are very dark and serious themes. I also love the teasing of the mystery in the beginning and end of the chapters.
