A locked room mystery with an unrealistic early 2000s movie vibe. Teens sneak out, hook up, confess to murder on tumblr.

I read this in full on covid-brain and I ended up enjoying the journey quite a lot. It's an easy-to-read and easy-to-digest ya thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously.

The premise is absurd: five teenagers who are loosely acquainted at best are in detention for something they didn't do. One then goes into anaphylactic shock and dies shortly after. His drinking water was contaminated with peanut oil. Who killed him? The four remaining teenagers walk us through the weeks that follow, the investigation, and the small town secrets and lies that are revealed. While there were many tropes and cliches, I did find myself entertained and anticipating the answer.

Recommended if you're looking for an entertaining ya thriller and are ok with reading about a lot of dramatic teen romances.
