In the wake of Simon Kelleher's death, Bayview High is still reeling, struggling to return to normal. Gossip flies like crazy and copycat blogs still plague the school. When a game of truth or dare turns deadly, is it just a mistake? or is there something more sinister going on in Bayview again?
I loved this book even MORE than the first one! We follow a new generation of Bayview High students, who are just as lovable and complex as those who came before. Even better, all of our favorite characters from the first book make their returns to Bayview, so we're still able to follow along on their journeys!
I love that this book focuses more on the day-to-day experiences and relationship building between the people of Bayview, while still adding in an intriguing level of mystery and investigation from our plucky teen heroes! This novel also explores some powerful topics, such as unlikely friendships, family relationships, and how difficult situations can bring people together.
I loved this book so much and I could NOT put it down! The characters were so engaging and endearing and watching them develop throughout the story kept me rooting for them. The plot was so intriguing, with interesting twists and turns that kept me on my toes, but the surprise ending still made sense!
