This book was full of interesting characters and has a vibe like "The Breakfast Club" meets a murder mystery. But, in all honesty, I was more interested in the characters' lives and relationships with each other than the murder plot itself.
This book starts out pretty slow, but really picks up the pace in the last half. I got very attached to the characters and their development though-out the novel and loved the idea of unlikely friendships between all of these very different people. There was also good representation throughout the book.
The character building was expertly done, but the plot left some to be desired. Overall, it was a good read with some underlying darkness.
