1.0

This book just really irritated me from start to end. There were so many characters mentioned in the first 20 or so pages that I felt overwhelmed and confused. The protagonist was really unloveable and everything only seemed to happen because she said so, nothing was really backed up with facts. There were also at least two contradictions in the novel, they were small but to me noticeable. The blurb says that the cheerleaders died in the summer whereas in the book it is said from the beginning they died in autumn and the description of the protagonist changes over the course of a couple pages, she goes from having blue eyes to brown eyes. 
Overall the flimsy plot and paper thin characters did nothing to justify what could have been a very interesting idea.
