This book is so good! It’s a great murder mystery, but it’s also so much more than that. It faces head-on the issue of girls and women hurt and murdered by men and how hard it is for them to get the protection they need when they’re alive or the justice they deserve when they’re dead.

This book deals with many subjects, probably too many. Principally memory. Our principal character attempts to remember traumatic incidents at her school. I don't really enjoy an unreliable narrator story. This book gives off Gone Girl vibes. Having said that, It was interesting enough that I endured 14 hours of meandering musings on what it was like to be a teenager in a exclusive prep school, to find out the ending.
