I enjoyed the multiple twists. I had guessed at one or two but was utterly blindsided by a couple. 
It felt similar in style to ‘Five Little Liars’ or ‘One of Us Is Lying’.

CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS!! Mysterious letters arrive inviting students to a murder mystery themed scholarship dinner for a $50k scholarship. It seems legit, until they arrive and things go horribly wrong. This dark, twisty ya mystery explores revenge and how loss can affect your psyche. So many twists and turns kept me listening for more. This book is very dark and could be quite triggering for many people, so I would seriously check the trigger warnings. However, this book was not very remarkable and did not stand out much from the other mysteries I have read before. I could predict many plot points. I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve read so many in this genre, but I am just not very affected by this book. I probably won’t remember it in a few weeks. It was fairly good, not bad by any means, it just didn’t stand out compared to the others I have read in this genre.

In my opinion I think it had some poor LGBT representation and had some hurtful stereotypes. It asks had way to much backstory
