Reviews with content warning for Murder - Bad Girls

Pros: the structure was a good way to keep the suspense going as it makes us wonder how the protagonist ended up where she is

Fast read since the book is quite thin

Cons: the reason behind the books events and why the protagonist did what she did was extremely anti-climactic

I really liked that the story was told backwards. I found this very interesting and original. One thing I didn't like was the the two main characters, Jule and Imogen, mainly because o didn't care about them.

cool how the timeline goes backwards so everything starts unravelling at the end but its all about identity theft n psycho besties.

didn't expect the plot to be like that and its not THAT interesting theres a bit of action and i got lazy to read those parts i wish it was more of her n her thoughts n like internal conflicts yk?

This book was a quick read, I appreciated the different setup of the novel by it going from present - past - present. However, it was rather easy to figure out what would happen next in the book as the story was told backwards. E Lockhart's writing is enjoyable, but I felt that this book just felt short with the plot. The characters were unlikeable and the ending made me question the protagonists' actions more so than I already did.
