A solid book, though I'm glad I didn't spend money on it.
The characters were a little bland and I constantly mixed up all of the girls for that reason.
The ending was a bit disappointing, I was hoping for a more interesting twist, some kind of scheme, not justa coincidence that tied the deaths together.
Throughout the book I was constantly fearing that B & M would end up together, which, luckily they didn't, and it made sense for him to be the murderer. However, I still felt like the topic of him being a predator wasn't fleshed out with enough care, as it still ended up with Monica going "well...I used him, too, sooo..." No girl. You're 16. He's 27.
