Characters weren't extremely unique but we got to know things about their pasts and it was easy to relate to them. Secondary characters could have been more fleshed out.

I loved the setting: private schools always have their own vibe and love it. This was really interesting from the beginning and all the time I wanted to know more.

After finishing the book I noticed how little actually happened but still managed to be really pleasurable to read.

This was a good YA crime novel, first in a series. Set in a boarding school, features a true crime podcast and a girl found dead the summer before.

Only 5 hours left of listening to this but I imagine it will probably take me at least 48 hours to finish

This was the worst book I read last year. The premise seemed good and I was so bitterly disappointed by the execution. The ending left me with this face 😑 ⭐️

I enjoyed this for the cliche driven British boarding school, murder mystery complete with references to tiktok & podcasts - where the rich American girl hides a painful secret & drinks pumpkin spice lattes & the headmistress might be having an affair with her Dad - that it is. It‘s not a complete story in & of itself - this is book one in a series - the murder isn‘t solved & another crime takes place at the end (hello set up for #2). Fast read!

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @TheAromaofBooks - I finished by #BookSpin! Two down, 18 left on the list and no progress on writing out my bingo card 😉 (edited) 3y
Cathythoughts Sounds good. Great pic 3y
monkeygirlsmama Beautiful cover. 3y
TheAromaofBooks I'm kind of in love with this cover!! And also your not-bingo-card style 😂 3y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @TheAromaofBooks, I‘m painting a picture with words 😬 3y

Oh look it‘s me... starting my #bookspin book 😇

Bookzombie I used to watch Zoe on YouTube, but I haven‘t read any of her books. I‘m interested to see what you think. 3y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Bookzombie, I‘m enjoying it but it definitely skews to the younger side of YA... and has yet to meet a cliche it doesn‘t like... 3y

It was waiting at the post office! Hooray for tracking or I wouldn‘t have known since there was no collection card left...

Thanks to my #AussieSecretSanta @Lizpixie - this book does indeed sound fantastic - I might even be the first Litten to post about it!

Love it all! x

Lizpixie I have it as well on my #WinterGames2020 TBR. It sounds really good. I‘m sorry there wasn‘t more, I thought it was only a one book exchange or I would‘ve sent more!🤷🏻‍♀️ 3y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lizpixie, it was a one book swap - some were just very keen 😊. I wonder who will read it first? 3y
