Overall, this was a very enjoyable YA mystery-thriller, and I definitely had a lot of fun with trying to figure out what exactly happened and how all the pieces fell together. I liked that the main character made mistakes, and wasn't necessarily a like-able person, which just made the whole experience really fun to read about. I also thought that many of the sensitive or controversial topics were handled in a way that was realistic and felt very believable, which you don't always see with YA books. 

However, what kept me from giving this book 4 stars was that the actual mystery was fairly predictable, and I don't think that this book was particularly original in its concept and plot. This is a great book if you're a YA mystery-thriller fan who's on the lookout for more content regardless of how stereotypical or predictable it might be or if you're new to these types of books and haven't yet become fully familiar with many of the tropes that YA mystery authors use in their books.

I liked this mystery. It was a little predictable but putting the pieces together is fun. Loved the ending chapter.

Bueno estoy aburrida así que voy a hacerle reseña

Ame este libro, lo re disfrute. Al principio era medio lento pero después se puso muuuuy bueno. La protagonista es re fuerte y la amo. Es un poco oscuro y fuerte el libro pero esta muy bien hecho.
Tiene asesinato, misterio, porristas, flashbacks, una amistad fuerte, y más. 

Me hubiese gustado un poco más si tuviese algo de romance, pero así estuvo bien y lo re recomiendo.

Tiene temas medio sensibles así que si lo van a leer busquen las TW por las dudas.
