I mean... What a fun time! This is what a young adult thriller should be like. It's dark and mysterious, but in an age-appropriate way for a teenage audience, yet still works for older readers as well. The clues get revealed in a satisfying way and aren't obvious. The characters are interesting and diverse in multiple ways and full of personality. There's some good social commentary, but it doesn't feel overdone. I felt ambivalent about the romance side plot, but it didn't take anything away from the main plotline.
