It was good! Despite being set in HS it didn’t feel too young to read and enjoy but I definitely did not care about the relationships the book put a lot of focus on. I was very curious about the actual mystery and that took a backseat for longer than I would’ve liked but maybe I’m just too old :)

im sorry but the reveal really didn't pay off. most characters were annoying as fuck and the main romance was so fuckin annoying like bro i was cheering when they "broke up" only for the stupid epilogue to happen. also the whole 'queer character has a beard but is secretly in a relationship with a man' trope pisses me off so much and doesn't justify the cheating (it is cheating even if the character is queer like) but his cheating makes him the victim of the circumstances but the other girl cheating is kind of what the entire plot is built upon is so fuckin stupid like aahhhh this pissed me off so much.
