I wasn’t sure about that his book at first and next thing you know, I’m finishing it. Absolutely worth the hype! So good! It is most definitely YA and has stupid teens making stupid choices that aren’t always realistic, but books don’t always have to be realistic or make sense to be good. This is one of those books!

This book was literally AMAZING. I was super surprised with the plot twists and every scene was insane. There were so many characters that I was so suspicious of and even if they weren't the main person, I loved how developed their stories were. I don't even know what to say because this book was just so amazing. You seriously have to read it.

This book was just a little too corny for me. It was also predictable and at times a little boring. The twist at the end did save it, though, and it got a lot better in the last 50 pages. So that’s why I still give it 3 stars.

Omg! This book was so good!
When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it and discussing it with my friend who had read it
It was so tense and stressful in the best possible way

♡ Cold Case 

♡ Small Clues

♡ Murder Board

The plot was a bit cliché but entertaining enough.  It is unfortunate that the US edition had so much edited out, there are just moments that feel skipped over or some parts that seem missing general.  But in the end it was a good story.

I loved the formatting of this book, all the extra details like the schedules, text messages, were all formatted nicely.  It was an entertaining to read, it had twists and turns, an unlikely friendship, a killer hiding in plain sight, and a school project that turned into solving a murder.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: Third Person

Release Date: 05, January 2021

Rep: BIPOC (Main Character and Side Characters), Lesbian (Side Character)
