I really enjoyed this book. There is a lot of misdirection in the book with multiple characters having a reason to want Simon dead. Who's lying? Who's telling the truth? The author leads you in one direction before something happens that pulls you in a different direction altogether. I love it when an author does this. I really didn't like the police in this book. They have no evidence linking Bronwyn, Cooper, Nate and Addy to Simon's death yet they obsessively pursue them because it comes to light that Simon was about to reveal a big secret for all of them. Surely you need something more to charge someone with murder? I was surprised when the truth about Simon's death is revealed. I didn't see this coming. This was a well-written, fast-paced and highly enjoyable YA thriller.
