Fun story, I probably would have enjoyed it more as a younger person or teen.  It was hard for me to really get into the teen drama aspect.  Some of the issues seemed to resolve a little too quick as well.  Kind of like what you'd expect in overly optimistic Disney drama.  Not the entire book, some of it is definitely not Disney.

The book did keep me on board with finding out what really happened in that detention room and the ending was interesting enough.  I liked some of the characters more than others, but in all it was a interesting cast.  A fun who done it, but not sure if it's fun enough for me to run to the sequel.
