While entertaining this book was a lot. There are so many elements and characters going on. It just gets wilder and wilder as it went on and in my opinion not in a good way.

This book has to be a TV.Show or a movie! It has this Desperate Housewives kind of vibes but with teachers instead of housewives.
I loved it, I like this kind of crazy twisted smart mystery thrillers. I had such a blast, I enjoyed it even if I should not with such kind of stories.
For me, this book is really about how envy can transform you into someone completely evil and might push you into doing so much horrible things, thinking you're doing what is right.
Teddy is an antihero who has really really unheroic manners for helping mainly his poor students in order to become good persons. Believe me, you don't want him as your teacher.
There is always a justice even if it came in a more twisted and darkish suit!

This was SO messy (compliment). I love Downing's writing. This is a binge book.

It was good but not great. There was a lot going on and I never got sucked into it. But quick chapter which was nice!

This was more like 3.5 stars. I hated all of the adult characters and disliked the teenagers, which made it hard to get through, but I liked the book enough to keep reading so
