★x4 | (B+) 88% | AGES 15+ | There was honestly a lot of hype in this that made me scared to read this, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not saying it lives up to that hype, but it definitely deserves a lot of hype. This was just a wild ride I really enjoyed.
| Characters - ★x4 | *chefs kiss* really well developed for the little time we were given with them. Or at least, it felt like very little time as everything was pretty fast paced.
| Storyline - ★x4 | Entertaining, fast-paced. Didn’t have a dull moment. It unraveled the story well with so many layers like an onion.
| Writing - ★x4 | It handled like a six POV story really well. I could tell the author really thought about their voices and who they were.
Should you read this? Yes! It has murder, gray morals, and accurate teenage angst. It’s perfect for a summer read or a cup of cocoa by the fire.

I’d be lying (ha ha) if I said I didn’t absolutely love this. I loved the way McManus wrote the book from the perspective of each of the characters, it allowed me to get a different point of view each time which was fascinating. It was an easy read and I could easily pick it up and be able to keep reading along without confusion.
The storyline had me hooked, anything that keeps me guessing is a huge winner in my eyes! A murder mystery, high school drama and secrets, the perfect mix! I couldn’t put it down until I knew who had done it.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the series and see what happens. I adored the characters and can’t wait to see what awaits them all.

I loved this book. I was a little hesitant at the beginning with the typical teenage stereotypes but as the book progressed certain characters developed in a way that made them my all time favorite book characters. I’ve also watched and read enough crime and thriller books/movies/tv shows that I’m good at solving it but I didn’t expect this twist. I can definitely say I’m looking forward to reading the sequel!
Review for teaching purposes: Somewhat predictable ending, but a fun read with plenty of teen drama. Good YA choice for high school classroom. References to sex but nothing in detail; strongest language is some f-words.
