this was definitely something.
I am not the biggest fan of the writing, the fact that this is author's 1st book was showing. there were a lot of pop culture mentions, this had me cringing a bit lol. 
the characters were alright, however couldnt really get into them and I couldn't get myself to care for anyone. 
I felt like i have read this before. it was like good girls guide to murder but make it gay... I mean i love to see representation in murder mystery books, but nothing about the plot line was original.... 
I agree 100% with this being young adult, because the characters were being stupid and irrational in lot of scenes. this always pisses me off... I mean alright, ig they are kids, but could you think twice before doing or saying something.... 

anyways, it wasn't bad, I'd definitely recommend, but it didnt leave the wow effect on me sadly....


p.s. dont read this in slovak translation, i had such a hard time reading it, especially in the beginning...

enjoyable thriller, and i liked that the main character was sapphic. although i thought the representation of the characters of colour wasn’t perfect tbh.

god, this one was disappointing. if you want to read a mediocre dupe of a good girl’s guide to murder, this is it! it’s practically the same thing, just not as a good at all. which is upsetting, because it’s sapphic. and i want all sapphic things to be enjoyable.

i don’t understand why the phrases “my ex-best friend” and “my ex-girlfriend” were said so much. we know who they are - use their names! it made it so clunky.

most of the book i was forcing myself to finish because it just wasn’t enjoyable at all. around the end was somewhat entertaining because things actually started happening.

this is literally just a good girls guide to murder x life is strange but incredibly mediocre

Oh boy the angst. Love the proudly queer characters with other things too focus on besides being gay, but oof the teen angst made this story drag.
