This book! I read it around 2 years ago and I'm currently rereading, it's so good! I will say the twists can get confusing which is the only reason my review isn't higher, but the characters, the diversity, and the story as a whole makes up for the possible confusion. I do love the representation in each character whether it be different and real disorders/struggles, race and sexuality, and the overall facade the current generation has to maintain with the new age of social media. Great book, definitely very pretty little liars like if you enjoyed that!
