Why is she being so reckless with Aces on the loose and having her in the crosshairs?? She joked that it could be someone else's house…well-it really could be someone else's and maybe that’s why she covered the picture. (hide spoiler)]

That acrostic & secret society!! AHHHHH!!! & she probably ran away because it’s her new gf the girl in the mask, she actually thinks it’s the person who was in the road I think because she’s calling her gf. BUT I think it’s her girlfriend still. (hide spoiler)]

What do you know I was right about the reporter…sad that this book is a bit predictable when it seems like it’s supposed to be surprising. (hide spoiler)]

LOVE the author's note about her background and inspiration

And now she gets to see that gossip girl has changed and we do have two Black girls in the lead role!!!

I did like it and the gossip girl/ pretty little liars vibes I didn't expect the doctor thing at the end like you said. But, I feel like I guessed a lot of the twists. It was a crazy book though and sad about the systemic racism and attacks this society had going on throughout the years (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ The plot is quite interesting... Kinda like Pretty little liars and gossip girl with a university setting. I like the writing style of the author its easy to get into and the anticipation it creates at the end of each chapter makes you wanna read more..

Who do you think Aces is? My guess is Jamie? But who knows? but guessing Belle might be the one who open the science room and steal the material so that Chi will be in trouble since it was mention that she knew how to pick door locks hmmmm but idk really. (hide spoiler)]

End of Part 2: 64%

(view spoiler)[ Wth?! So this is all about race? And almost all the students are involved?
I guess it was Belle who uses Computer 17, as how Chi was totally shocked. Hoping for a good ending! (fingers crossed) It started so well. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ So it was not Belle, (thank god! Liked her for Chi) but her sister?! Okay wow this thing goes way way back after ww2 what a fucked up place. Glad Devon find and took some photos! I'm also having second thoughts about Tyrell maybe he's also one of them but his also black so idk really. spoiler > (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Done!! Its not cool what happen to Jamie but still I like the ending. The way they helped people like them to not experienced what they did. Small steps that makes the biggest difference. (hide spoiler)]

Started on my drive today - 8%, Chapter 4. (view spoiler)[ For some reason when they first showed the picture of Devon kissing the other guy, I thought it was gonna be Jamie. And now he's dissing Chi for this other chick? Not a fan of this dude. (hide spoiler)]

[SavsLibrary]

35% (view spoiler)[ Jamie suckkkkkks. He's fake af and the hit and run was absolutely messed up. His girlfriend can pick locks, which might be important? Simultaneously I don't feel that bad for Chia as her stuff isn't as bad as Von's.
Dre breaking up with Devon after the tape and the last text is really messed up, but it's even more messed up that his boys then proceeded to beat the shit out of him. Von has lost all of his friends and now they're coming after him for other stuff. (hide spoiler)]

[SavsLibrary]

52% (view spoiler)[Okay Chi... you like Belle. Ope and as I'm writing this, they kissed. Also, I'm frustrated with Von/Dre! (hide spoiler)]

[SavsLibrary]

End of part 2, 65% (view spoiler)[ WTF! So basically the whole school is involved and this is ALL about race? I mean I knew it was but it's absolutely nuts to think they've done it before. I had a feeling it wasn't just one person because of all the things they knew.

Also, I think it was Belle who was on computer 17. But she got scared because she thought it was the girl in the road... and if it was the girl in the road, then Chi didn't kill her? Well, Jamie didn't because Jamie was the one driving after all.

Sooooo good so far, hoping for a satisfying ending. (hide spoiler)]

[SavsLibrary]

66% (view spoiler)[ NOOOO don't trust Belle, Chi! (hide spoiler)]

[SavsLibrary]

100% (view spoiler)[ Like all of us probably, I was praying on Jamie's downfall from the jump. I lowkey cheered a little bit when it was revealed that he died.
The epilogue was amazing -- and that last line?? YES. Get that retribution, Chi. (hide spoiler)]
