This was an okay read. Initially from the blurb I was convinced it was going to be a sort of murder mystery version of The Breakfast Club, which it was at first. However, detention didn’t last very long. How inconvenient that someone should die so soon during detention and spoil my fun.

I found the beginning of the book exciting and intriguing, but I soon found myself losing interest. I know that I can be hit-and-miss with Young Adult fiction, and unfortunately on this occasion it was more miss than hit. I found myself going through the motions, but not really connecting with any of the characters.

What is a coincidence is that a few days ago I started watching Pretty Little Liars for the first time. I’m hooked, and I do think this may have reduced my enjoyment of this book, as it definitely reminds me of the series, but I’m enjoying watching the series far more than I enjoyed reading this book.

There’s nothing specifically wrong with this story, it just wasn’t for me. I think I just prefer this genre of book to be darker and more tense. However, I’m sure there are lots of others who will love it, so don’t just base your decision on my review alone.
