I'm about 2/3 of the way through and I can't quite get a feeling for this book. I have to say I'm not loving the man character June. She's just too passive and easily lead by pthers. The premise of the story is that her former best friend Delia dies by suicide by fire....or is she murdered. She begins to track down Delia's last hours and friends to unravel the story.

Plotholes, plotholes. But teen me would have loved this. That's what I get from reading YA, though.

My Thoughts on Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls (Spoilers Ahead!)
Who doesn’t love a good suicide/murder mystery? When I picked up this book, I expected a typical teen suicide story, kind of like 13 Reasons Why. But wow—I was way off.
The story follows best friends June and Delia, who had a major falling out after a drunken night where things got messy between June’s boyfriend and Delia. Fast forward a year, and Delia is found dead—supposedly a suicide. But June is convinced there’s more to the story. And she’s right… just not in the way she expected. Turns out, Delia faked her death and was plotting to take down her stepfather for alleged abuse.
This book was wild, to say the least. Delia had this almost cult-like following, but underneath it all, she was in love with June. By the time I got to the ending, I had so many more questions than answers. It kept me hooked, but at the same time, I feel like I would’ve been totally fine never reading it. I still don’t know how I feel about it—intriguing but also kind of frustrating.

Between work, house, and kid goings on this week, I couldn't really listen to this in a straight shot. However, Junie is so dumb lol

2.5/5 stars. Eh, this book was okay. I liked some elements but overall it was more of a mess than anything. Although I understood some aspects of June and Delia's friendship, it was mostly odd. I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it either.
