Hysteria by Megan Miranda
3.0

It wasn't terrible, but in all honesty it took about halfway through for me to care at all about any of the characters. And even then, there were a couple of different plot lines going on that seemed distracting from each other. It seemed like Megan Miranda missed the mark on a few cool ideas, like secrets being the currency of Monroe. There weren't many secrets, and they definitely weren't traded like currency. It was just one guy blackmailing people over things that seemed too small for what they were doing.

I think I would have preferred the book the summary described (it wasn't accurate at all), but even then it was okay. Megan Miranda did a good job in wrapping up all the loose ends in a satisfying way. This isn't the best psychological thriller I've read, but it did hold my attention until the end.
