This book was fascinating. It's a boarding school murder mystery filled with drama and secrets and chaos.
The main character, Kay is a suspect in the death of a girl at her school, but then she receives an email from said dead girl, leading her on a scavenger hunt to get students removed from the school. There was lots of intrigue and drama as secrets were discovered, and Kay tries to clear her name.
I didn't particularly like any of the characters, which knocked this book down in its rating, but I did appreciate their complex backstories and how that unfolded. There was some unreliable narration that was really interesting to read. I also was interested by the relationships in this book, they were all very interesting and complex.
As for the mystery itself, I found it interesting how it was told. It was pretty unique and complicated. I did think some of the suspects were a little underdeveloped and useless, and the big reveal was a little predictable. Still, an enjoyable story.
PG-13 Darkness, talk of drugs, suicide, swearing, etc
