Another things is : I hatred most of the characters, the only one I liked was Nate and I didn't like him anymore at the end, it was the other way around for Addy, I hatred her the most and liked her at the end, as well as Cooper, but overall throughout the book I did not like them and I don't know what gave me the want to keep reading, maybe the mystery and me trying to solve it.
I felt like the epilogue and the bonus chapter were really not necessary.
It's a shame because I really liked the book but the ending ruined it for me.
SPOILERS FROM NOW ON
So the ending : I was not surprised to learn that Simon killed himself HOWEVER the fact that Jake was involved in it and his attitude at the end was way too cliché and over the top and that is the reason why the book went under the 4 stars rating for me.
The romance between Bronwyn and Nate felt a bit forced, breaking news : you don't Always need romance in a Book, and this situation would never happen if you're convincted of murder, you have other things to deal with.
Graphic: Death
Moderate: Self harm, Suicide attempt, Outing, and Violence

I felt like some voices were stronger than others, and I’m not 100% head over heels for the book, so those are the only reasons why it’s not 5 stars from me. Maybe I just haven’t read YA in awhile.
But I breezed through it and loved the writing! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a mystery with lovable characters (with the added tension knowing you’re not sure if you can trust them).
Moderate: Violence and Death
