It took me a little while to get into this book, mainly because I intially didn't like the main character very much. But as the story unfolded and I learned more about what was going on, I found it easier to follow the intersecting storylines and I gained an appreciation for a couple of the characters that I really didn't expect. There were certain aspects of the plot that I figured out before they were revealed, but plenty of others that remained a mystery until the end. I loved the setting and the author creates a very clear picture of the school and the town it's located in. This felt very much like the teen-led murder mysteries I enjoyed when I was in high school, and while it could be a bit on the graphic side from time to time, it was a really fun thriller as a whole.
