Why is it always the private schools in the North east?? Rich people are crazy. I really enjoyed this book and honestly was inspired to write a little based on its plot, and shocking applicability to my hometown. The plot twist is predictable, but when the twist is done well that's never a bad thing. I found out by chance that Sydney Sweeney will be starring in and producing an adaptation through this app actually and I'm so excited. I don't know if everything is confirmed yet, but I hope they host an open call. Speaking of the cast Halsey is going to be in it and I bet she'll play Rachel, to be frank she looks wayyy too old to play a teenager. I was unable to put this book down and finished it in one day, at 1 am on a school night to be specific, so I cannot recommend it more. I just know these kids listen to a shit ton of Kanye.

Songs: 

• Heartless - Kanye
• National Anthem - Lana Del Rey 
• Royals - Lorde
