They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman
3.0

I really wanted to like this book but the whole thing left a weird taste in my mouth. There was so much hazing that I was like ???? What! I did so much anti hazing training in college thru Greek life that just reading about it makes me so unhappy. I was really interested in what was going to happen the whole time so I wanted to know how it ended. I guessed the killer within the first 30 pages and went back and forth a little but my original guess was correct. This book may work better for other people but I just had a problem with how these high schoolers treated everyone, treated their friends, and overall acted. They wanted to be so cool but they were just mean and excluding. Ugh, anyways, I know others loved this book but it just was not for me
