This book is quite wild. The girls at this school are downright vicious. They really go through all lengths to make sure they get the roles they want. There was a lot of exposition and general tension at the beginning of the book, so it was quite slow-paced. I thought that the character of Bette was so entitled and annoying, but the other two perspectives were very well done. I understand how she was necessary to tell the story, but I wish there was something that helped negate what she was saying. Like if another character described her as entitled or something to that effect. I did understand her situation by the end of the book, but I didn't understand her. I would also add to look at the trigger warnings because this book touches on so many different types of scars and addresses so many issues.
