The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas
 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 
 
“But after a while, searching for answers felt like grasping around in the dark. At some point you have to choose to live in the light.” 
 
I also loved this book! There were a few minor editing issues, but I was able to overlook them due to the well thought out plot. Jen and Ginny are fairly realistic teenage girls. I try not to think about whether or not the story is realistic or the police procedure is accurate, but I liked how Kara Thomas included typical teenage drama like practices, tests, and friendship problems. The twist was somewhat unexpected and enjoyable. I wish I had maybe one more chapter, but I always say that I could use more! 
 
I recommend this for anyone who loved A Good Girls Guide To Murder!
