About 50 pages in and an immediate turn off was the whole "slur shaming" and overly cliche highschool rivalry, overly cliche nuclear family (just because you switch mom and dad's roles doesn't make it any better). I can tell off bat this is not going to be the alluring, intense mystery novel that I would love to love. But I'll try to keep going with it...
A little over halfway through now, and the progression has still been boring and has annoying plotholes. Especially with Dee and Sarah. Too far in now to give up, but this has to be one of the most poorly written, stupid mystery books i've ever read. Which sucks because it could've been executed in a way more captivating way. Safe to say I won't be checking out any more of Tom Ryan's novels...
I'm typically very generous with my ratings. I don't feel guilty about this one.
