Whispers of Dead Girls by Marlee Bush
2.0
challenging dark mysterious tense

I was eager to read Whispers of Dead Girls by Marlee Bush, because I greatly enjoyed her debut When She Was Me. I dove into Whispers of Dead Girls with a positive attitude and an open mind. 

Ultimately, I am not recommending this book because of the twist. I feel it does not do justice to victims and it is actively damaging to propel stories like this into people's consciousness, even when presented as fiction. 

Things I enjoyed:
-The main character and the steady reveal of her secrets
-The high school setting 
-The tension between the MC and her primary suspect
