It was fine. I didn't really see the real truth coming, which was good, but it wasn't a mouth-droppung-to-the-floor shock. I also was able to anticipate many of the other reveals.  

I feel like there was potential for the story to be twisty-er, but maybe that would have made it drag. 

I appreciate that though it was written about high schoolers, it did read as juvenile writing.

it was a good mystery book, after the reveal of what happened, it kinda went really slow and unbearable.
