I was routinely shocked at how the author managed to make such an interesting topic so trite and bland. Whenever the chance for an interesting development occured, she always seemed to pick the biggest and most entirely predictable cliche possible.  If this was their intention and they sought to replicate the air of cheesy horror that is an often discussed theme of the book, they still managed to make it as watered down as possible at every chance.  Must read if your favorite books are the ones you can guess the plot twists in by the 1/4 mark.

I really enjoyed this book. The only thing was some of how it was writing was giving 2010s YA novels. The multiple references to Twitter and Reddit sometimes felt like they were bringing me out of the story. 

It only had one moment that truly felt scary. Very minor horror like the type you see in YA, but with an older author. Some cliches thrown in, buy that was expected.
