Whilst the story is interesting, it did feel somewhat formulaic and far-fetched.

I hated having to put this book down. This story is DARK, and makes big statements on bulling, gaslighting and doing whatever it takes to fit in at the expense of other people. As much as I loved this story, there were a few things that I took issue with in the last 30 or so pages: 

1. There didn't need to be a murder for there to be retribution. The tragedy would have been more impactful if it wasn't revealed that Sully actually killed Flora and staged a suicide. It also makes little sense how gory the scene was, and how conveniently free of blood Sully was after the murder. 2. The punishment doesn't particularly fit the crime, and the big twist ending didn't fit the overall tone of the book. Yes, Flora dies, and Amb and Sully are the worst, but Amb's punishment was way overboard and not believable. 3. Poppy is an absolute psychopath. I knew it was her sending the notes and emails, but the twist of making her into a killer was just too far out there. 4. Amb's pregnancy reveal was just pointless.

I loved this book until the end. I still love it, but I'm deducting 1/2 star for the off the wall ending.

The writing was pretty good and I found myself wrapped in the mystery, the characters were mostly unlikable though I think that’s the point. The final twist was good though!

Hated the characters so much, waiting the whole time for them to be anything but awful. Plot was rough. Bad ending.
