Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Teen for an arc of this book.
When Shade decides to join the cheer team, her best friend, Jadis is not happy with her change of tune. But things quickly get weird as the three Chloe's begin to encompass more of Shade than just her afterschool time. When The Chloes, Shade, and Jadis all take molly at the homecoming dance, it's supposed to be a way for them to bond. Instead, it ends in someone's death...but whose fault was it.
Whooo this is a dark book about Cheerleading. I loved reading about how utterly toxic all these girls were and how all-encompassing everything that happened to them was. It is so incredibly dramatic and so fun to read. Really interesting true case of murder that this was inspired by, too!
I really liked the character depth in this one! Honestly, all of these characters are disasters but I loved reading about them. Shade is especially interesting! Great book.
