So, subjectively this was in no way a great book but it was entertaining, I'll give it that. The cast of characters definitely fit some stereotypes but the whole 'murder mystery' element was pretty cool, considering I recently went to a murder mystery event myself and was, as a result, murdered.

The mystery and its set-up was ridiculous and more importantly, the book's use of its LGBTQ+ characters made me want to scream and cry and throw something at the wall. Following on from last year's One of Us is Lying, it just fuels more evidence to the fire that YA mystery-thriller authors should somehow be banned from including any references to queerness/mental health problems in their books... At least until they pass a test/present their book before a committee.
