3.5

What I Liked:
  • I liked the cast of characters and how all of their lives got intertwined during this whole thing. It felt very Breakfast Club-esque, but like, with murder.
  • The inclusion of Maeve and Ashton - for whatever reason, I really loved their characters.
  • I think the book gives a good overall message.

What I Didn't Like or Wanted More Of: 
  • A lot of it was a little unbelievable. 
  • Too much drag out after the revelation of the murderer.
