APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Five kids enter detention in this enticing mystery, but one of them leaves in a body bag—and, naturally, everyone’s a suspect. What’s more, brainy Bronwyn, popular Addy, class criminal Nate, and jock Cooper all have secrets to hide that the murdered boy, a misfit named Simon, was on the verge of sharing. This unlikely group soon bonds together to try to figure out what really happened. Switching between each teen’s point of view to tell the story, Karen McManus captures their unmistakable voices in short, punchy sections that give the book the feel of a binge-worthy TV show. And we love how the twisty mystery pays homage to the classic ’80s teen movie The Breakfast Club. You won’t want to stop until the final page.
Customer Reviews
Such a good book
This book is really good. I’m gonna be honest I kinda suspected how it was gonna end. But it still kept me on my toes. I read this book within 4 days. I love the characters. I love this book. 10/10 I recommend
Stunning book!
This book was amazing! I love how this book doesn’t briefly write about the romance, but instead really gets into it. I love the characters and there development throughout the chapters as I could read from everyone’s different point of view. What I really love about this book is how you can try and piece together who did it, but in the end, you’ll never guess who. I’ve never read a plot line quite like this, which is what I believe kept me so into the book! stunning, heart warming, genius, and got me on my feet a few times!
So….
I’ll be honest, i had high expectations for this book. Someone recommended me this, and the cover seemed promising so I tried it out. Im disappointed to say that there was too much teenage drama that honestly I couldn’t really care much about. The last few chapters make up some of it, and it was interesting enough to keep me reading. I love the characters and dynamics, but I believe it could be better
