Such a bizarre and twisty mystery! It kept me guessing up until the end, which was very satisfying. I liked, but was also saddened, by the accurate depiction of how gossip, bullying, and false accusations can have such lasting repercussions.

Part of me wished this was more like Fangirl in terms of learning about the author and that world.
