This book would be a compelling set up for a teen thriller series if it was not completely dominated by predatory relationships not only between teenagers but between adults and teenagers. They try to touch on dysfunctional family themes with blended families, racism, and more but these inappropriate relationships between teens and adults are present throughout. Outside of that, the book is actually pretty interesting, it was still a fun read even having seen most of the "twists" in the TV series years ago.
