3.5

I liked the flow of the book, the mystery was well done, and the characters were interesting. I liked that the mystery wasn't the whole book, you know something's coming but not exactly what or when it'll happen.
I think it does a really good job of showing the different kinds of unhealthy platonic relationships there are out there and how easy it can be to not know you're in one.
The parents are a bit flat, but I think it adds to the story that's being told by a teenager.
I probably would have rated this higher due to how it captivated me but there were a few character interactions that were just confusing. Characters would say things that didn't make a lot of sense and didn't add up to much in the story either. I'm not sure if they were tied to something more before some editing and just weren't cut out or if I'm just misunderstanding what's supposed to be the point of it/how it makes sense from a character perspective.
