jenwoodrum 's review for:
Soon-to-be Dead Boys
by Kylee Awiech
I really enjoyed this book!! This is a fun read for lovers of A Good Girl's Guide To Murder, One Of Us Is Lying, and Pretty Little Liars.
Ellie has always dreamed of being a detective. When a list starts going around of guys in her school who have mistreated girls, she is curious about who made it. But when the boys begin to show up dead... she is now even more invested in finding out the truth.
What I loved more than anything in this book were the characters and their complexity. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and they are written so beautifully. For example, Ellie's desire to be a detective gets in the way of her being a good and attentive friend. There are so many satisfying moments of character growth!
The other piece that was super well done was how the author handled really challenging topics. There are themes of sexual assault, issues with policing, and addiction. The author did an excellent job showing how complicated these concepts are throughout the story by the way the characters wrestled with these issues.
I was proud of myself for guessing the killer before Ellie did as we were getting closer to the end... That never happens
