This was another recommendation from one of my favorite BookTok-ers, @zai_rambles, and I loved it. The Black Queen is a YA murder mystery that is told through two perspectives, the murder victim’s best friend and the girl who is accused and suspected of the murder. The twists in the book are great and I highly recommend it as well. Warning though, I would check the triggers on this book as it’s pretty heavy.
