I really liked this book because of the diversity on the sexuality of the characters. The characters are full of clichés but they are endearing and we discover their personalities beyond the label we put on them. The ending was predictable and so were the plot twists if you paid attention to the story. I liked it a lot, it's a fresh thriller that evokes an important subject of the society. If you like the LGBTQ+, the sorority, the feminism, high school thriller and REVENGE ! go read this book.

I’m quite disappointed that we didn’t know what happened to Emma. And that we didn't get all the reactions to what Mr. Garson did. I would have liked to know what he would have said to justify himself to the police and to the people. Btw I'm glad he was killed. We're not complaining about it. And loved the sorority between those girls <3

This book didn't speak to me as much as I thought it would. I think the cover is adorable, but I don't enjoy how the book is written. I'm tired of the can't-come-out-as-gay trope, I live that in my everyday life so reading about it is not enjoyable. I know the novel isn't focused on the queer relationship, but the cover insinuates the book is mainly about that relationship when it is a minuscule part.
