Gave this 4 ⭐️ solely because I actually enjoyed reading this and it took me out of my slump. 

Mean Girls meets Scream Queens in this YA murder mystery stand alone. I think at this point I worship this genre because it’s one that I actually find exciting and Alexa Donne was the perfect choice of read for me at the moment. I l absolutely loved how chaotic the story and the characters were! This is the picture perfect cliché about a rich kids boarding school and a page turner with its fast-paced writing style with an impeccable drama-filled story escalating from just a

bunch of girls just trying to get into college into blackmail and murder.

So many twists and turns wow! If you’re looking for a book where every single character is morally grey (leaning towards morally black in some cases), this is the book for you. Every character was fleshed out, with their own motivations and secrets. Very quick fun read!

Wasn’t horrible, wouldn’t read again. It was very slow in the beginning and had to read like 60 pages for something interesting to happen. The book didn’t keep me hooked and wasn’t as good as I was hoping for. I had to force myself to finish it.
