This is the book that got me into reading, it was the first book I read as an adult that allowed me to read more books and got me in to reading. I read one more book before this but it was a few years before this, it didn't expand my book reading but this one did . I clearly liked and enjoyed this book as it made me want to read more and get into book properly, I enjoyed the mystery and the suspense, I was on my toes while reading it, I honestly couldn't figure out the killer and was confused kept switching the characters that I accused. I enjoyed the characters relationships, I don't remember much since it was 3/4 years ago but I remember enjoying the connections some of the characters had, I remember there was a gay character who at the time was a DL which was interesting to see and how that went and if they would be outed. All the characters had secrets they were hiding and I remember being shocked at some of them and not at some but enjoyed the ravel regardless,  it was my starter to mystery and Crime. It wasn't a morning book and I didn't have any of the main chatterers I remember some of the characters that I had a issue with when they did something, but overall they were all decent high school students who got thrown into a murder mystery.
