Wow. I thought the plot was predictable - turns out, it was not.
potential spoilers?
One thing I would've liked to see was more closure at the end of the novel. Even just a short epilogue to clarify things more.

13 Minutes was like if Mean Girls met Gone Girl. Overall, it was good, but standard. The twist wasn't entirely obvious, but about 60% of the way through, it became apparent who was behind everything in the end. This isn't inherently a bad thing, but the book wasn't really as tense as it could have been for a mystery.
