I was initially hooked by this and by the main character's investigation of her twin sister's accidental death. But somewhere about half way through the story, I just.........lost interest? It's not that it was a bad story. It's just that the actual "what happened?" part of the story fell by the wayside in favour of jogging and stalking her teacher and that just...wasn't for me. So I can see why my students might enjoy this, but for me, this was just sort of aggressively meh.
