This book was so captivating. I thought the author wrote teenagers very well. Did anyone else think that Claudia and Monday’s relationship was a little codependent?? I think this was based on a true story, the case of Mitchelle Blair. The timeline was really confusing and difficult to follow at times. I like stories that are sometimes told out of order but the chapter titles made it hard for me to follow where we were in the timeline. After a reveal at the end, it makes more sense why the author did that. It was still challenging to follow. The narrator is excellent!
