The longer I think about this book, the more I realize I didn't like it. It would've been better if Melissa had taken the easy way out with plot twist - see spoiler tag if you want to know- Also Spencer being a Bipoc character didn't seem so important and it was used as an insult? Nothing made much sense.

The best friend was the killer instead of the boyfriend whose girlfriend was paralyzed at a party a year before. Ethan was supposed to die but the sophomore did instead? How messed up would it have been if the his brother was the reason he died? Anyways the author made it way too complicated
