Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[LOL improving his game by "juicing" yeah sure cooper.. whatever helps you sleep at night. #weallknowyouuse (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[okay is there anyone in this book who doesn't have a secret or act creepy? (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[okay obviously someone helped him plan this whole thing or at least knew about it. Simon seems suspicious. Janae seems suspicious. EVERYONE IS SUSPICIOUS TO ME. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 28: (view spoiler)[Ain't trusting no body yet! I have my eyes on some people.. but I'm probably wrong (like always!) (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[I SHOULD'VE STUCK TO MY GUNS! I kept flipflopping like a damn fish on the dock trying to get back into the ocean of self doubt! UGH! CURSE ME! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 6 (view spoiler)[ Wow I'm kinda suspicious of all of them except Nate. Idk but I don't think it was him. Also, Addy should stand up for herself and stop doing shit just to please Jake. Maybe she should dump Jake and go out with this TJ kid instead. I have a feeling that Simon knows all these kids secrets and he was going to out them, so one of them decided to off him. Bronwyn obvioulsy cheated somehow in chemistry-- if not the normal way then maybe she did something with the teacher? :/ Cooper is either having an affair or doing steroids or something. Addy cheated on Jake and then there's Nate who's who life is one thin line between jail and freedom. For some reason I'm the least suspicious of Nate. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 14 (view spoiler)[ Lol nope. All of them are suspicious. It's like all of them are so suspicious I don't think any of them did it, which is weird. Idk who did it at this point. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 13 (view spoiler)[ Wow Cooper's grandma is great. He should really follow her advice and break up with Keely. I want to know who this Kris person is?? And is he using steroid or not!?! I like that TJ seems to still want to be friends with Addy. She is really such a damn push over it's kinda horrible. And I don't think Jake was good for her. I still have so many damn questions!! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 18 (view spoiler)[ Wow damn I'm so proud of Addy for standing up to that asshole Jake. I hope she never goes back to him. And shit Cooper is fucking gay!? That's his secret. I had a feeling to it if it wasn't steroids. Also, I'm kind of shipping Bronwyn and Nate. And I have no idea if these 4 did anything to Simon. I have no idea what to believe anymore. You know I kind of suspected Maeve for a second. Just maybe.... (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 14 [spoil..."

IM STILL SO SUSPICIOUS AND IDK HOW TO DEAL WITH IT XD

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 27 (view spoiler)[ I might have been holding my breath right before that Sam kid was saying Simon paid him to have that accident. Like fuck I so do not want it to be Nate. I'm gonna cry if it was Nate at all. Maybe Simon engineered this whole thing to blame all 4 of them and Janae (??) is helping him so now she feels guilty?? Idk dude. But I love the character development that's happened especially with Addy and Cooper. (hide spoiler)]

it's very intense xD I'm glad you are enjoying it because I was basically screaming at my book..

[Dr. Andy]

I'm screaming too!!!

[Dr. Andy]

Also I'm at ch 30 (view spoiler)[ Nate and Bronwyn better fucking be together at the end!!! Or I'm gonna be mad (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

LOL @ your comments. I'm dying.

[Dr. Andy]

Alaina wrote: "LOL @ your comments. I'm dying."

No I was dying!! And now I am dead omfg (view spoiler)[ MY SHIP SAILED IM SO FREAKING HAPPY I WANT TO CRY (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Finished (view spoiler)[ This book really freaking messed with my mind. I think I suspected everyone at some point in time with this book. The mystery was so well written with the little clues coming out. I also fell in love with each of these characters and how they became friends. My heart is sobbing (with happy tears). But seriously Simon is so fucking messed up, Jake too. They both kinda got what they deserved in the end I guess. (hide spoiler)]

No I was dying!! And now I am dead omfg [spoilers removed]"

LOL YASSSS! I was happy so happy!

[Alex]

*jumps in*

Chapter 2

(view spoiler)[Nothing interesting happened yet - except Simon dying, RIP - but I am quite happy that this has multiple POV. I wasn't expecting that.

Each character is the definition of a stereotype at the moment. (??) Hope they will change in something unexpected. 🧚 (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Chapter 6

(view spoiler)[ Sooo... one of them is the killer? I don't know how I feel about it. They don't seem to have a proper reason yet. Yeah, they all seem to have a secret but is that enough to commit a murder? Hm.
I don't suspect anyone yet.


There is something odd with Cooper. He thinks that his girlfriend is the perfect GIRL but he still seems to cheat on her. Is he with an older woman? Is he gay?
Also, that Jake guy needs to f- off and be dumped by Addy as soon as possible. Ew, such a disgusting person. (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Andrea wrote: "Ch. 6 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I am 100% sure Cooper is having an affair but the question is: with whom?
I ship Addy with TJ >.> , Jake is horrible. That scene when he "asked" her to change was so ... nopsy-nop. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

(view spoiler)[OMG Right!?! i hated Jake so much!! (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Chapter 11

(view spoiler)[ TJ is so cooooool!! Tihihi. I like Addy a lot and I hope she will start loving TJ and be with him happily ever after. I don't think she killed Simon. I am actually 99% sure. She doesn't seem THAT desperate to keep her little "affair" with TJ a secret.

I also like Cooper and now I am super curious to see what's the deal with him.

Hm... I have a weird vibe coming from Bronwyn. Let's say I suspect her the most out of them four.

Nate is tooooo obvious to be the killer. I mean... all this bad boy attitude and the way he acts... neah. Not buying it. (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Chapter 16

(view spoiler)[ Pfiu, happy Cooper decided to break up with Keely. It wasn't right for any of them to be in a relationship like that.
Other than that... Not sure what to believe. I am starting to think that the killer is someone we don't even know? A teacher? Arghhh. (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Andrea wrote: "Ch. 13 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Kris is a guy, rigggght? I mean... come on, Kris is the name of a guy. I am sure. I am sure.
Am I? 🤣 (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Chapter 18

(view spoiler)[ OMG hahahaha! I knew it! I knewwww it! Kris is a guy!
Oh, Cooper, you foxy boy, you!

Bronwyn is my no. 1 suspect at the moment. Or Nate? Nate seems to obvious, though. Maybe that's the point? 😫 (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Betelgeuse wrote: "Chapter 18

[spoilers removed] ..."

(view spoiler)[ Yes Kris is a guy!!! I was starting to suspect Cooper was gay after that talk with his grandma about how he should be happy and stuff. (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Andrea wrote: "Betelgeuse wrote: "Chapter 18

[spoilers removed] ..."

[spoilers removed]"

Just read chapter 22 and (view spoiler)[ I don't want Cooper to suffer. T_____T
Coming out like that... forced, basically. I can't even imagine how hard was for him. Nonny was sweet. Hope she'll help him deal with this. (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Chapter 26

(view spoiler)[ Nooo... Jake, that ass! *angry*
Is he involved?! Of course he is! That little piece of... (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Betelgeuse wrote: "Chapter 26 [spoilers removed] "

(view spoiler)[ Oh man I hated him so much. He's just horrible! (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Chapter 29

(view spoiler)[ I am shocked. Jake is out of his mind? He was about to kill Addy?!? Is he really that disturbed?
In a way I feel bad for Simon... To be honest, I wasn't expecting him to commit suicide. That was super random for me. It does make sense, unfortunately and it's really sad that he seemed to regret it in the end.

But Jake? Hope he will stay in jail for many many years. (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Finished

(view spoiler)[Loved the ending! Love Bronwyn (sorry for suspecting youuuu) with Nate!
Glad that everyone managed to find a happy ending and things are going to get better for them for now on. Such a cool book! <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Yay I'm so glad you liked it!! :D

Maybe with a good reading high you can get through some of your other book

Yes! Certainly! <3

[Natalia]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ This is giving so many Breakfast vibes, I love it (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I guess they all have something to hide, except Nate, because everyone knew this (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Addy is rid of Jake. He was controlling and because of him she had no confidence
Also I'm not sure if anyone of the four killed him. Maybe Cooper, but I don't think so (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ I'm starting to think that Simon had committed suicide with some twisted idea for revenge. But that doesn't explain who is sending the Tumbler posts (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ Ok so Cooper isn't cheating with another girl, but with a guy. I was a bit suspicious of him in the beginning, because he had the most to lose, but now I don't think he did it (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ I'm definitely sure that it isn't anyone from the four. I still think it's Simon himself. But who is posting all this stuff on Tumbler (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Ending (view spoiler)[ I guessed Simon's suicide, but I definitely didn't expect Jake to be involved in such a way. I didn't like him from the start, because he was controlling, but I could've never guessed that he wanted to blame Addy for Simon's death (hide spoiler)]
