Killer Potential by Hannah Deitch

4.5

---

This had a little bit of everything I love. A killer (no pun intended) plot; a voice that is equal parts literary and sharply funny; complex and nuanced characters that linger long after the final page; pitch-perfect pacing, allowing us to catch our breath but never fully breathe in between the developments; and, perhaps most important, an ending that manages to tie everything together in a heartfelt and heartbreaking way.

Could not recommend this more.
