A deliciously fun YA murder mystery set at a boarding school, with some light commentary on social class and educational institutions. The twists were engaging, albeit somewhat predictable, but overall, an awesome addition to the YA thriller/mystery genre.

This book took some twists that I was expecting, but some that were out of left field! I suspected several different characters as the culprit, but was wrong about nearly everything. This book feels like if A Good Girls Guide to Murder and A Study in Charlotte had a baby (murder on an elite boarding school campus) with added complications of college apps, acceptances and rejections.
I think that older teens will love this book, but I also think adults who enjoy YA will love this book as well. It kept me hooked the whole time and I'll definitely be recommending it to many.

Well this one was thoroughly entertaining. Talk about a motive I genuinely did not see coming.
