It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. It was so heavy handed and obvious with the clues and in your face. It tried to take focus and incriminate other people, because everyone hAtEs ThiS cHaRacTeR, but it did so in such a weak way, that I didn't even consider anything else other than what was true. But really, for a murder mystery book, there wasn't enough mystery. The Prom Queen who has never been able to find herself as a separate person from her long term boyfriend. The topics that the book explores definitely have a YA slant, but since this book is marketed as YA, that’s to be expected. It’s things like worrying about where you’ll end up at college, fitting in, coming out, etc. It’s not stuff I’m particularly interested in, but I didn’t mind it either. The Breakfast Club-esque aspects of it were sort of charming and endearing for me.

I think it’s that I just finished You by Caroline Kepnes. And that’s really just a much better book than this. Unfair standard, though. I feel like one of maybe four people in the world who just... really did not enjoy this book? I've been putting off this review for weeks because I just don't know where to start. I have so many friends who raved about this book to me, so I was so disappointed by it.

Let's please not use mental illness as a motive or in such a degrading way. _____ is depressed, and using that as something to explain why a person did something horrible, is not something I ever want to read. Villainizing all the characters with mental illnesses and degrading them to just that, is an automatic no for me. Goldberg, Lesley (September 17, 2019).

Though I must point out that it’s more like a contemporary ft. mystery than a mystery ft. contemporary the characters: I liked Bronwyn and Nate enough to stay I didn't hate them. Not Addy and Cooper though. They were laughable and Addy's whole empowering story line was corny. Also, you're not going to catch me uplifting a bunch of cheaters. And everyone else didn't have a prominent personality and I didn't care for them. a b Halterman, Jim (October 19, 2022).

Everyone wanted that bastard dead, he was spreading everyone’s dirty laundry on social media, not directly giving names, but accusing them of various things in a manner that I can only describe as petty and annoying. Like, I would’ve punched him in the mouth several times if I’d ever laid my eyes on him on the school hallways. Each chapter is told from the perspective of one of the suspects, one of the four kids left alive after detention, and each chapter ended in a revelation of incriminating facts related to that character. I felt that format really pushed the narrative along at a nice, steady pace. Have all earned a spot for violating one of the most serious rules of high school: NO PHONES IN CLASS. They’ve done the crime, now they have to do the time as well as write a 500 word essay about how technology is ruining American high schools. If they fail to do so, well . . . .This is the kind of book in which you get four POVs and have as much information as the characters that talk about the happenings. You have to guess with them, you have to experience what they see and you have to take all the pieces of their puzzle and try to solve it. ;-)
