Normally, I’m not a huge fan of murder mysteries. I’ll be honest; they give me nightmares. However, I fell in love with this book. It is utterly addicting; once you start reading you just can’t stop. The story begins when five very different students end up in detention together, each of them hiding a different secret. Then, the story takes a turn when one of them, Simon, who runs a gossip blog, dies. It is quickly discovered that Simon was preparing to reveal the secrets of the other four the next day on his blog. Now, not only do the four main characters have their secrets revealed, but they are suspects in a murder investigation. While this is a suspenseful mystery book with high stakes, it’s portrayal of the trials the characters suffer at the hands of their classmates when their secrets are discovered is what makes the book so poignant. Well-written, with an intriguing mystery, a surprising plot twist, intimate character depictions, and intense character relationships, this is a book you will not regret reading.
