Written from the perspective of our lead investigator in a series of horrific events at her private school, Jess is a deep character with a passion for justice and takes us on a truly jaw dropping journey to find the truth. 

Not only were the plot twists unpredictable, but I loved that the book pauses to give you chance to put forward your own theories before the big reveal. Although I was truly shocked by our ending it was heartwarming to see that amongst all the journalists who wanted a good headline there was one person who wanted to provide a true chance for the truth to be published from Jess’s experience at the centre of it all. 

From betrayal, to growth, from new friends to fractured feelings about old ones this book was shockingly engaging, and while some of the betrayals were heartbreaking the growth in relationships between other characters as they form new friendships were heartwarming in their own right.  

Overall I’m kind of mad I didn’t get to this sooner. Having recieved this as a physical arc from YALC I ADORED it and I I’ll definitely continue to check out this author and reccomend this book.

I really enjoyed how well this was set up. The red herrings in the book were abundant and so purposeful that it was a surprise across the board when the evil mastermind was finally ousted. The clues where there all along, but with everything going on, it still sneaks up on you. 

There's a side story about friendship and finding your own worth in there, subtle and very well done, without ever coming across as preachy. The characters unique and coming alive on the page. 

Really enjoyed it.
