This book was pretty good!! There were a lot of twists and turns—some useful, some not. My favorite part about this book was the return of Ali/Courtney and the way Ali had begun to play each girl, getting them to trust her. I think the Courtney/Ali plotline was insanely rushed though, and didn’t make good use of the tension this situation was building. Additionally, the whole “Melissa is A?” plotline was pretty boring and predictable, as the reader could assume that Melissa ISN’T A. The death of Jenna started out as an interesting plot, as it revived the fear that there is a killer on the lose, but was almost immediately squashed by them “finding the killer,” which was immediately squashed again by them revealing that Billy ISN’T the killer. I think Jenna being murdered was insanely glazed over—like, this would be extremely traumatizing and life altering if someone is stalking you and then successfully murders your classmate! But instead, there was more dialogue on Hanna being a size zero or whatever and Aria stressing about Noel Kahn. I just think that Shepard introduced interesting plot lines but eventually squandered the potential tension of each of them. This is where less plot lines and a distinct focus would have benefited this book. Still, not bad, entertaining, but could’ve used some organization.
