I won this book in a giveaway a while ago and finally got around to reading it.
This book is like a mixture of Mean Girls, Heathers, and Bring it On.
Overall it was pretty mid. The cliches really came in full force and I guessed most of the big reveal long before hand, however I was pleasantly surprised by the secondary reveal. The writing was okay and exactly what you'd expect from the genre with characters that didn't have enough relatability to really find myself caring about any of them. I did think it was funny that Phoebe was into art and stuff but all of her art was like the basic wannabe artist stuff that high schoolers did in 2014. Like a painting of an eye be fr rn 🤣.
