I really love the way this book escalates. The plot is really interesting while maintaining this almost Netflix original high school experience type feel to it. The twist is amazing I highly recommend this book.

Everybody’s heard of the show and maybe a lot of y’all have already read the book. I may be late to the party but I’ll preach to the choir either way. The story is very sad, some moments more than others. Parts will have you angry and some hold a qui...
