Overall a good read. This isn't a murder mystery in the sense of One of Us is Lying or PLL in my opinion, but more of a book about your actions coming back to bite you in the ass. I figured out who the killer was and why and several other things fairly early, but it didn't necessarily ruin the book. Watching Kay fall into isolation and the horrors of people being quick to judge and cyber bullying is always fascinating to me, especially the further I get away from college.

I am ready for cold winters and feeling the bitter isolation myself I guess.

Other random notes:
*The main character is bisexual, causing a love triangle. But it's not a "this is leading up to me coming out huzzah" love triangle, and for that I am thankful. Everyone's sexuality in the book just is.
*This book feels like it started out as one book and morphed into another....and it works?
*The spine of this book is beautiful thank you for that.
