Great storytelling

This is messed up, and in a way I wasn't expecting. There is certainly a horror/Carrie-esque feel here, which you don't fully appreciate until the end. I think I would have enjoyed this more had the layout been more cohesive and not blocks of the same story from different POVs over and over.

Very dark and at times creepy. Incredibly enticing. The format - the back and forth - and the ties between the characters and their insights into the story really make this book a showstopper. I will never underestimate teachers.

It's been awhile since I've read a thriller this good. I absolutely love the way it was written; each chapter has a different character pov and it's written as letters, diary entries and an end of the school year speech. So it's definitely chocked full of unreliable narrators and it has lots of fun plot twists that made it hard to put down.
