this book was exactly what i expected, exactly what i wanted, and exactly what i got. crime mixed with teen shenanigans, sketchy friendships and sketchier relationships.
★★★☆☆ 2.5/5
this was alright. it was entertaining, but a lot of ya contemporary murder-mysteries blur together, and unfortunately, this will probably be one of them. everything was pretty predictable. the characters, other than avery, were very underdeveloped and had no depth; they were basically interchangeable. one of the only characters who did have any development had all of it completely thrown out the window for no reason other than shock factor.
the ending was frustrating. definitely very rushed. the things that weren’t wrapped up were quickly thrown together in the last few pages, and a lot of things are left unanswered. not sure who decided to compare this to holly jackson’s works, but the comparison is... questionable.

4.5 stars. I loved this book because I love dark acedemia books. Getting into an Ivy League school is cut throat business. 5 girls develop a scheme how to beat the other classmates. I y league schools only pick a couple per class and they will do anything to make sure they are going to get their choice of college.
