Todavía no sé si darle 3 o 3.5 estrellas.

Estuvo... bien, normal. Sumamente predecible pero no por eso menos adictivo.

Al inicio todo parecía ser una típica historia cliché y mamarracha como muchísimas otras, usando a personajes estereotípicos de películas y novelas estadounidenses, el deportista, la princesa rubia del baile, el casi delincuente y la nerd. Sospechosos de asesinato del chismoso más grande de todos en la escuela, Simon.

Algo que debo reconocer es que, a pesar de que hay varios clichés, no todo se apega a la línea estereotípica de estos clichés y nos permite verlos con unos ojos distintos, algo positivo, aún así, casi al inicio del libro ya sabía qué personaje en específico era homosexual y ya sospechaba quién había sido el verdadero culpable y a una de las implicadas. Lo que no me esperaba era al otro implicado en el asunto, sin embargo, no me sorprendió.

Aún así, fue una buena lectura, me enganchó a pesar de todo esto y deja un buen mensaje, el peligro del mal uso de las redes sociales y la importancia de ir a terapia y empezar a normalizar la salud mental. Definitivamente voy a seguir leyendo a esta autora, tengo fé en que se haya superado a sí misma en sus siguientes libros ya que este es su debut.

I liked this. It was fast paced and had good twists & turns. But the ending... was kind of abrupt. Not sure if I'll read the next one but I know my teen wants to.

Everything I love in a YA. Mix of Gossip Girls meets Scream meets Breakfast Club. Entertaining.

There were parts of this book that I got really into. Overall, however, I don’t think it was that great. I grew to really like the characters (even though they bugged me at first) but I’ve definitely read much better books that have had me more hooked than this. I wouldn’t be quick to recommend it. I also guessed correctly about how Simon dies (not a spoiler, it’s what the entire book is about), so I guess it’s somewhat predictable. It definitely gets better as you read but didn’t really do it f
