Everything about this book worked for me. I thought for having a pretty hefty cast of characters they were all well-written and fleshed out. The structure of the story kept my interest. The mystery was intriguing, and the themes of the book felt timely. All around, I thought this was really well executed and would be great for a book club especially if you are a fan of murder mysteries and high school dramas like The Breakfast Club. Do check the trigger warnings if you are sensitive to certain topics/themes :)
