And I feel I should note somewhere that I couldn't help but visualise Leighton as Gwyneth Paltrow and I now can't shake that casting (for the inevitable film adaptation) from my head!!!

I love the twists as the story played out and the strength of the protagonist. Giving anything more would give spoilers which I do not care to do.
While this is YA fiction it is definitely fit for any reader who enjoys suspense.
*a note on diversity. While the book isn’t filled with diverse characters with the exception of the protagonist and a few others, it is intentional. It is a glimpse of the real world impacts on people of color. So while the story is thankfully fictional, the real world
Message and impact is not.
