rgoodhart's review against another edition

I’m sorry, but I just can’t be bothered to keep going with this.
I’m so bored with teen books that have different chapters assigned to the various characters; it just requires too much concentration to keep track of who is who.
This may well turn into a good story but I didn’t like the style or the language and I don’t need to read this just to have it in my school library…
I always tell my students they don’t *have* to finish any book… and that’s me here.
Grateful to have received an uncorrected proof from the publishers.

This had such a strong beginning with the interviews being used as a framing device and the introduction and development of characters. I was so invested in what was happening and how the girls were going to solve this! And then I lost steam.
The story here was a bit too long for me. Guron's decision to split the timeline as a way to reveal some information didn't work for me at all and actively affected my enjoyment while reading. During the last third of the book, I was just waiting for it to end.

THE FACT THAT THIS BOOK ISNT MORE POPULAR IS SUCH A CRIME!!!
My finals are screaming for attention but the moment i started this book i knew i was going to love it and be obsessed, and i was (i finished it in less than 2 days). The formatting with the interviews is so fun and i wish it was in more books! Absolutely loved the short chapters, but also how do u manage to fit 91 chapters into a book thats 440 pages long? Absolute wizardry!!
I loved pretty much everything about this book! From the setting, to the plot(twists), to the characters! There were moments throughout the book where i thought “this could’ve been written more cleanly” and then i finished the book and all those moments made so much more sense and fit so well into the book! All the characters are so different from each other without being boring, almost all the characters are important to the story and fucking loved that!
