She Started It by Sian Gilbert
3.5
mysterious tense fast-paced

Mean girls on an island. I read through this quickly but I really hated the way all these characters acted. The bullying of Poppy from the beginning of school to destroying her chances of going to art school (SUPER cruel what happens) was super hard to read.

I do like the "locked" mystery scenario. Putting it on an isolated island is just downright creepy. I was a bit surprised at what the ending brought but also a bit nah that we didn't get a full closer (a character had certain thoughts and we didn't get to see what they included). So it was a bit too open ended for my liking.
