I loved this book and I couldn't put it down. The plot itself was nicely developed, the characters have complex and interesting stories, and the style itself (switching POV to main character) makes this the perfect YA thriller. Hyped to check out the Netflix show as well.

ddfffdsjahahhshsjagdgshabvdhd. the ending definitely got me. i heard some people saw it coming but i definitely did not. this book humbled me; i was wrong the entire time. but it’s easy to be wrong when reading this book, it’s meant to stump you (at least, if you don’t read other teenage-high school-murder mysteries). it was really good right up at the end, when we got the plot twist. i thought it dragged a bit for the last 20-30 or so pages, but that doesn’t matter that much. other than that, i really enjoyed the romance, and i thought the characters all had their positives and negatives. now for my complaints. the writing? bland and juvenile. it’s set in a high school, i know i shouldn’t have expected much, but still i was so disappointed by how cheesy it could be sometimes. why does everyone cheat on each other in this book? (this is not a spoiler, don’t worry lol it’s prevalent right from the start). i wonder, is it to make a certain couple stand out? is it to carry the plot? i’m not sure, but it was really annoying at times (very annoying at times). also, i felt like coopers character wasn’t very rounded out until around the middle of the book. i liked his character after a certain something got revealed, but before that i felt like he was just pure baseball. i don’t like baseball, i’m biased here. to summarize, it’s a nice guilty pleasure read for me. i know it’s a corny stereotypical book but i enjoyed it lol.
