Characters and story were very interesting. I enjoyed this fast-paced ya thriller. Def had moments where I had to suspend disbelief when characters said or did things that seemed highly improbable. Also found the romantic relationship very forced and unbelievable. But was so curious to see how it would wrap up, I stayed with it.

4.5

I read The Obsession and needed more. The New Girl was written after but I'm not sure if it takes place the same time as The Obsession or before. Read them both. 
We get to know a lot about Lia. I liked her and kept rooting for her even after she started making questionable choices. I liked Stacey and Beth. Danny was the perfect boyfriend. The others, I either disliked or was ambivalent about them.
I really enjoyed how the story unfolded and all the twists that suddenly would appear. I kept guessing at who did what. I was correct a few times. But all those other times, when a twist popped up, kept me turning pages. If twisty YA is your thing, pick this up.
