it has high school drama, boyfriend is shit, sexual assault, murder, unrequited love.
I mean it has it all and there's a good twist at the end that I didn't see coming..

 This book was definitely a page turner.  It's hard to review without giving spoilers but by the end of the book you really have to suspend disbelief.  The main character is not remotely likable and hard to empathize with.
