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!

i enjoyed the suburban mystery and the way i had to guess who even had died. i liked the little connections between people but omg it was so slow. it definitely would have benefitted from a cut

Everyone was right about this book - I totally devoured it. I wish I hadn't accidentally spoiled a plot point for myself, but it was still such an enjoyable read. What an interesting study of the many ways misogyny presents in everyday life from both men and women.
