I was very intrigued while reading this, and I thought it was fascinating that it expressed the dangers of unfounded accusations. 

Very much just a book of girls lying, and I love that.

Read this for school as I’m doing a scene from it in drama. Really enjoyed it actually- easy to follow and it’s very engaging- always leaving you wondering what will happen next. Would love to see it onstage

The book and movie are very good examples of what I imagine the Salem Witch Trials to be like. Everyone was paranoid and shouting, and it was very easy to be immersed in the story.
