A young adult thriller that separates the haves and the have nots while an investigation into a suicide ensues. I was a fan of the journal telling the dead girls thoughts and events. It’s a clever way to work her perspective into the story. Instead of what everyone else thought of her.
While I’m not always a fan of YA or paranormal, I was a fan of how everything got into the thrashers head. I can see their age playing a big part in that. But I’d be remiss to not mention it is geared towards a YA reader and all of the characters make decisions like a YA.
I liked the twists and not easily being able to identify who was reliable. It did not make me long for my high school days or those mean girls.
Eva Kaminsky and Jesse Vilinsky do a great job of narrating the thrashers and setting the eerie tone. They definitely added to the atmosphere and story.
