The plot was a bit cliché but entertaining enough. It is unfortunate that the US edition had so much edited out, there are just moments that feel skipped over or some parts that seem missing general. But in the end it was a good story.
I loved the formatting of this book, all the extra details like the schedules, text messages, were all formatted nicely. It was an entertaining to read, it had twists and turns, an unlikely friendship, a killer hiding in plain sight, and a school project that turned into solving a murder.
