50% mark i didn’t know if i could/would continue, the repetition and messy plot twists were hitting a nerve.
but we’ll worth seeing it through in the end!

The main character is awful. She's very underwritten and not fleshed out at all other than called "smart" and "quirky". I don't think I learned anything more about her from page 1 till the end, who she really was as a person. She engages in bad behavior such as blackmail, breaking and entering, theft, and manipulation of her friends in order to trick them into giving her answers, and never gets called out for it, to the extent you really have to raise your suspension of disbelief beyond reasonable levels. No one acts like a real person! They just spill all their secrets to a high schooler because the plot demands it.
I gave it a 2/5 stars, but only because I was able to finish it.
