I really liked the story idea and the sapphic couple, but overall the book dragged a bit at some points. It was still an enjoyable read and an interesting mystery! 
The book did have a lot of heavy topics though, like rape, assault, murder and homophobia.

I really liked this book because of the diversity on the sexuality of the characters. The characters are full of clichés but they are endearing and we discover their personalities beyond the label we put on them. The ending was predictable and so were the plot twists if you paid attention to the story. I liked it a lot, it's a fresh thriller that evokes an important subject of the society. If you like the LGBTQ+, the sorority, the feminism, high school thriller and REVENGE ! go read this book.

I’m quite disappointed that we didn’t know what happened to Emma. And that we didn't get all the reactions to what Mr. Garson did. I would have liked to know what he would have said to justify himself to the police and to the people. Btw I'm glad he was killed. We're not complaining about it. And loved the sorority between those girls <3

Oh, how I wanted to love this more than I did! While I admire its intention, I thought it was poorly executed, hindered by jarring switches in perspective and stereotypical characters. It reads so much like a Riverdale or Pretty Little Liars season that I have to wonder if it'd be better suited to television. A bummer!
