Beyond dull

Not worth your money this book. I lost interest in the book and characters around chapter ten. I only bought the book due to the USA show that's based on it. Even the show like the book , the characters are ones you end up not caring about. They are mean stuck up cheerleaders with a coach who's more self centered then them. Don't waste your money on this book if you do you will end tossing it in the recyclie bin not wanting to finish it. Both show and book are not worth your time.

I like it.

I have to admit that it was a drag to read the first 10-12 chapters cause the story wasn’t really moving, but once you get to the part where someone died, it got exciting. Just when you thought you know who the killer is, there’s a twist coming out of nowhere that’ll change everything you thought you knew.

Interesting young adult read

This book is written in a style much different than most but I found it enjoyable. It gives insight into the sometimes twisted, manipulative world of young girls but at that same time was also an unexpected murder mystery story. I could relate to the high school world of cheerleading but if you're not into that, it might not be so enjoyable because that is a large part of the book. I didn't expect it to go where it did so I was pleasantly surprised by that. Overall it was a good story.
