Read If: you want a fun summer slasher with a diverse group of characters, you like YA, you like your murder mysteries to have a hint of romance, you want a quick read. 

Don’t Read If:

you mind if almost all aforementioned characters of color die

, you don’t like perfectly tied up endings, if you don’t like the way teenagers talk, sensitive to LGBTIA+ issues, sensitive to bully, sensitive to gore.

5.0

I won't lie... The beginning of the story gave me Jersey Shore feels, but I loved everything about the book!

The underlined tension umoung the group, the secrets and lies, tearing them apart. 

And the suspense?! It was the best part! 

I wasn't surprised to discover who the murderer was, but once all the secrets started to unravel and everyone's actions?! It was such a messy and tragic brilliance that I can't wait to read Rektok's next book!
