Reviews with content warning for Bullying - People Like Us

(THIS REVIEW IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK TO SHARE OPINIONS, I APOLOGIZE I DONT KNOW HOW TO WRITE REVIEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDNT READ IT ALREADY HAHA)

When it reveals in the beginning that she had a secret and that it was so horrendous it couldn't be revealed, I didnt think it would be that she "killed" her own brother. You guys know she didn't actually kill him but participated in it. Which is crazy since she so dearly loved him. I must admit I did think Kay was the killer at some point. I love the sapphic add-ons because I feel it adds more heat on the plot between Nola, Kay and Brie in a good way. (lol it rhymes) The only characters I didnt like were Holly, she needs to calm down it was giving very much brat behavior; and Tai because she annoyed me every now and then. I think the characters were less annoying but intersting because they caught my attention in an odd way. On another note the peoms such as Tai Burned Chicken, (tricias, i forgot hers lol sorry. Hers was my favorite too) Madd tea party and so on, were amazingly put together, GOOD JOB NOLAA!! They perfectly reflect their past's and how it led up to their current situation. Something I would've enjoyed more was a longer scene explaining nolas true feelings and their fight. Also an apology from Kay's friends -_- The tension correlates perfectly with the dark academia theme.
Dark 4/10 Academia 6/10, YA 9/10. Overall very good to start off my tbr list of 55+ YA dark academia books >v<

4.5

i liked this book a lot. i think the plot is interesting enough on its own but it has really good character development. it really felt like you were learning with the main character and trusting/mistrusting people with her. none of the characters are without flaw but that makes them so interesting. a lot of the time i didn’t agree with the main character’s choices but i understood why. the ending was fine, slightly rushed but still interesting. a quick read with very good storytelling.

"Riverdale" meets "Pretty Little Liars," when a group of boarding school teens finds a girl from their school floating in the river.

I have been really torn in figuring out how to properly review this book - aka it's going to be a solid 3-⭐️
