Considering I’m a very slow reader, I managed to read this book in 4 days. It’s sad but I’m proud.
I absolutely loved the plot, the characters and the writing. It was easy to follow and understand and I felt like all the chapters definitely had a fulfilling purpose, which I don’t usually find in many YA books.
This story begins with Bronwyn’s POV, as she seems to be the starting character. Even though I did like all the characters, Bronwyn seemed to be the only one who wasn’t as flawed as the others. The only negative thing she did was cheat on a chemistry test, which kind of made the story a little unbalanced, but I loved it regardless. She fit the largest puzzles together throughout the story, assuming because she’s the most intelligent out of the group, and she was also the most considerate and patient out of them all.
I was definitely surprised with the ending, because I didn’t expect it to be so basic. I had the idea in the back of my mind that Simon killed himself, and I also believed that the teacher had a roll in the “murder” too. And even though the teacher was basically irrelevent throughout the story, it was smart to use him as a character because it must’ve distracted us from the real truth (which was Simon’s plan).
I definitely recommend this book if you’re looking for a subtle thriller/drama, also with a bit romance. It’s a quick read and definitely intriguing. Definitely enjoyed this.

I really liked this book.
I think it was really fun to read and I took every single sentence of each character as a sign that the killer was definitely them

Pretty good mystery thriller, I thought the amount of charavters was going to be too confusing, but each one is easily idetifiable. Listening to Audiobook helped too 😌 The twist wqs interesting, although I suspected it like halfway through. It's still enjoyable !
