13 Minutes was like if Mean Girls met Gone Girl. Overall, it was good, but standard. The twist wasn't entirely obvious, but about 60% of the way through, it became apparent who was behind everything in the end. This isn't inherently a bad thing, but the book wasn't really as tense as it could have been for a mystery.
