The book is written from different perspectives, which was a first for me, but after a couple of chapters I got used to it.

The beginning of the book really focused on high school drama, which I didn't really connect with, but once the mystery started going and they started solving the murder it really picked up pace and there were some unexpected plot twists at the end.


The content of the book are in a mixed media format and I sometimes had trouble following  the group texts with more than two people.  I liked that every chapter from Alice's perspective started with a Agatha Christie, which was really in character and sometimes even relevant to the story.


The stories of Agatha Christie only played a minor role in this story, but I think she would've enjoyed reading this one.
