Lighten up, would you? We’re eighteen. We’re too young for anything bad to happen.

I love books, scary movies and Regina George so naturally I was excited to read a book described as “Mean Girls meets Scream.” This was a fun lil summer slasher! It definitely lives up to the description, although instead of “you can’t sit with us” mean you get a ‘we’re toxic, but stick together cause we’re rich’ kind of mean amongst the friend group. The suspense was mediocre, in my opinion, but I enjoyed reading the typical outrageous/not-so-smart decisions made when a serial killer is on the loose 😂 
I’d recommend this as a palate cleanser if you read a lot of thrillers or horror.

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.

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!
