AMAZING!!!!!!

It started off kind of slow but really built up in a great way.

By the end you don't want anyone to be the culprit but someones gotta pay

I had chills when everything was revealed. Thanks Ms. McManus for a great mystery. ...more

Its "The Breakfast Club"......but death is in attendance.

This book was a lot more involving and profound than I anticipated.
I'm excited to read the sequel soon, I hope.

(Sidenote: I'm so glad About That wasn't around when I was in school!) ...more

Creo que me desacostumbre un poco a estos finales sacados de la galera, que no se van construyendo a lo largo de toda la historia. De todos modos, este me gustó mucho. De alguna manera tenía sentido. Al principio me hacia mucho merengue con el tema de los cambios de narrador pero cuando te familiarizas con los personajes se hace muy interesante.

The first chapters of this book made me think I was in some sort of a highschool drama series and I wasn't sure what to make of it but the further I got, the more interesting it became
Everyone had a reason for murder but in the same time, getting to know each of the characters I couldn't suspect any
I was left speechless by the twist at the end and now I really have to read the next one ...more

This was one of those keep you on your toes stories. I would start to think I had things figured out and then something else would come along and dash what I thought I knew. This is what I want from a book!

So five kids end up in detention but one collapses and dies due to an allergic reaction. But the more the police look into the case, the more they find that foul play was involved. The thing is, it had to be someone in the room who gave Simon the peanut oil which killed him. That only leaves ...more

This book is my debut into reading stories of the Mystery genre. So it's safe to say I haven't yet encountered books that follow similar plot lines. I personally really liked this book and as always, am in love with the fact that we got multiple perspectives. It really helped me as a reader to fall in love with every character presented. The pacing was good and the direction the story took was a little surprising but not unwelcome. Overall, I am pretty psyched for the next book.

Oh my freaking GOD! If you are in a book slump, read this book now!!! Seriously, I just devoured this book in a day and ignored anyone who tried to converse with me because this book needed me to read it. The thing about this book is none of the characters are perfect. In fact, they all have their problems which makes the book even better. I loved watching Addy and Cooper grow for the better and don’t even get me started on my love for Bronwyn and Nate. Really though, read this book!!!
