This was certainly a different type of book! I was sucked in my the title, blurb and cover and when I started reading, I found that it was funny and well written. Based on a dual timeline of only a year in between, we find ourselves immersed in quite a few mysteries at once.

What I liked:
-Kirby was very likable and not just another teen hero
-The humour and relationships between the flatmates
-The background unearthed throughout the book
-The highlight of the perils of social media

What wasn't my cup of tea:
-The somewhat rushed ending
-Because of the rushed ending, the horror of what was happening was glossed over
-The romance never got there

I feel like the book had a very 'funny yet somewhat completely unrealistic' vibe that lends itself to movies like Hot Fuzz. It was a fun read and if you are in the mood for something not too serious, pick this one up!
