This book ended up being different than I expected in this best way possible. It took a familiar idea, an anonymous person revealing secrets to the whole school, and turned it into something so much more than that. Something that felt scary because it felt like and is a real thing that could happen anywhere. I can't recommend this book more, it was so hard to put down and had me in awe. I must warn everyone to be aware it talks about a lot of tough topics and to make sure you read the author's note at the beginning before reading. This is a book I'll be thinking about forever.
