Overall I enjoyed reading this book, I felt like the middle was a little dry and repetitive it also had A LOT going on and could be a lot to follow. 

It's a very dark book with all dark things you can imagine. At times I felt like they were thrown in more for shock value than to go with the story.

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..
