Thanks NetGalley and Harper Collins for the ARC! What a cute gem of a YA-mystery read! To start off with, I really enjoyed all the pop culture reference in the book. The references felt so timely and made the book quirky in a good way. I also thought there was very strong character development - I wanted to be Annie and Kerry's friend and felt like I could fit in.
A strong theme without the book was feminism, which a lot of books (esp YA) don't deal properly with. It was so refreshing that this book actually addressed things like menustration.
Personally what I did not like about the book was the dramatics like that Kerry was made to be so so upset about the breakup with Scott when it had only been a hot minute. Yes, teenage love is different but it felt like overkill. Another example of what I found a little too dramatic was when Annie and Kerry reunited one night after a fight. All in all, I enjoyed the read but was a little let down!

What a wild ride. Considering it was a complete work of fiction, it was still very far fetched to me that three murders would happen in this small town and it wouldn't be swarming with additional police. Was still an enjoyable read though.

Bit cringe
Would have rated lower if it went hoe I was predicting initially, glad it didn't
Although murderer reveal was still disappointing as it was like an external almost unrelated character really. It was too convenient to write this plot I think, not thrilling enough

i keep stopping writing my review bc i get too angry
A surprisingly good mystery, with solid twists and clues. The mystery alone earned it the stars because I found the writing to be trying to hard to be a cool teenager and the characters were so difficult to connect with or enjoy.
Constantly made me want to keep reading. The twist was amazing and I’m so excited I get to read the sequel now
