a super easy read, i was able to read it in less than a day. it went super fast and was easy to keep track of the storyline. i will admit, i did have trouble differentiating the friends of the two sisters, but i loved the way the story switched between time periods. super addictive

A fun, quick murder mystery written for the YA audience but interesting and engaging enough for anyone who likes the genre. The overall plot isn't anything new though the twists are done with a deft hand and leave the reader guessing until the very end. It has some gratuitous plots that feel like your classic teen show "added for shock value", some of which are critical for the plot and some that seem to be there only to get a gasp. There's a couple too many characters for me too.

From the very first chapter

suicide

is a core plot, I'd avoid if you're triggered by that.

This book was amazing! The first half of the book however, took me ages to get through, nearly 2 weeks, and I didn’t have much ambition to read it, however the second half took me two days to read.

A solid book, though I'm glad I didn't spend money on it.
The characters were a little bland and I constantly mixed up all of the girls for that reason.
The ending was a bit disappointing, I was hoping for a more interesting twist, some kind of scheme, not just 

a coincidence that tied the deaths together.
Throughout the book I was constantly fearing that B & M would end up together, which, luckily they didn't, and it made sense for him to be the murderer. However, I still felt like the topic of him being a predator wasn't fleshed out with enough care, as it still ended up with Monica going "well...I used him, too, sooo..." No girl. You're 16. He's 27.
