I really enjoyed this book. I wasn’t expecting LGBTQ+ storylines which is great and I loved how unique the layout of the mystery was. The characters are annoying, yeah, but really that’s the whole point. They go to an elitist and rich private boarding school. The main character (Kay) spends most of the book realising that there’s no point being so horrible to people just to climb up social hierarchy.

Anyways, the main plot.

There were so many plot twists throughout which I loved, it didn’t make the plot dry because you were always finding out new things. You get a basic picture of what’s happened at the start and it just fills up with more and more details right until the end. I loved learning about each of the main character’s secrets  and I loved the layout and idea of a dead girl’s revenge website.

If you like mystery I just say read it, it’s an enjoyable storyline. It’s unique, fast paced. I loved it.
