I really liked this book. It had everything you would expect in a teen murder mystery with a tv show type quality to it. My only complaint is the ending, as I felt it didn't really connect as well as it could have.

This like the 'One of Us is Lying' series was an easy read. The flow was smooth and the plot twists were unpredictable. But McManus could have increased the tenseness a little more in the last act because I didn't find it all that satisfying. Although a little flimsy, the conclusion wasn't too horrible. The book's final sentence had such a shockingly unexpected conclusion. At first, it wasn't very apparent, but once I got it, it was good enough to state that Karen McManus is a plot-twist genius.

This book was good but it kind of got me in a reading slump in the begining because there was wa too many things going on and way too many characters to keep up with. I stopped reading the book for 2 weeks with 300 pages left but one day I started reading it again and it was so good and juicy and I read the rest in 2 days and I loved it. I love that there are queer characters too and the characters seem really cool and interesting so I give this book a solid 3.5. But there was a mystery that was never solved… who killed the teacher?? The teacher being killed is not a spoiler btw, it happens in the first or second chapter of the book but it was never made clear who did it.
