Yale hopeful Bronwyn has never publicly broken a rule. Sports star Cooper only knows what he's doing in the baseball diamond. Bad body Nate is one misstep away from a life of crime. Prom queen Addy is holding together the cracks in her perfect life. And outsider Simon, creator of the notorious gossip app at Bayview High, won't ever talk about any of them again.

He dies 24 hours before he could post their deepest secrets online.

Investigators conclude it's no accident. All of them are suspects. Everyone has secrets, right?

What really matters is how far you'll go to protect them.

***

The characters in this book are the typical, stereotype teenagers at an American high school. Whether it is a book or tv series / film, I love murder mysteries and crime. Even though this book was EVERYWHERE on my bookstagram, the cover sold me straight away! It is straight to the point and I was interested to know more. This book is a thriller to work out what student killed their classmate whilst in detention.

I found this book to be very well written and had me engaged from the very first page! What was also a bonus, was that it wasn't predictable and McManus had me guessing until the very end. The story went back and forth in each of the five characters perspectives, where little pieces of information slowly became pieced together. The book was the perfect length and didn't waffle, which is always the sign of a great book! If you are a fan of Pretty Little Liars, then this will be the perfect read! I am hooked and cannot wait to read One Of Us Is Next and Two Can Keep A Secret!
