This review uses my "snapshot" format.
The subject: a one-of-a-kind high school clique...trust me, you've never seen one quite like this before.
Shutter speed: pretty snappy, as the social scene is ripe with drama � although it does become repetitive after a little while, as Part 1 is drawn out a bit more than I thought was really necessary.
What's in the background? Alex, the apparently perfect boyfriend...but he comes more into the foreground in Part 2, and we get to see what's really going through his mind. Getting Alex's perspective adds such a necessary layer to what's going on.
Zoom in on: Jasmine, or really any outsider to the clique. I'd like to see a little more of what everyone else thinks of Hamilton.
Anything out of focus? I had some trouble remembering which perspective I was reading, since Part 1 flips between five.
The mental health issue is fascinating, and the way the storyline is crafted around it is stupendous. I had a few niggling questions about the accuracy of how a certain disorder is portrayed, but overall it's handled well.
Ready? Say... "Secrets!"
Click! 4.5 shooting stars
