Interesting concept and easy to read but I could just not find any of the characters likeable. The twist was unexpected but also seemed not quite believable. The focus on the 15 year old's sex life is also uncomfortable and felt unnecessary to the plot.

There was one part towards the end which makes you question your unconscious bias. It's a shame this wasn't explored a bit more.

this book was slay cuz of the plot but i hated all of the characters and it was way too drawn out and slow. some of the writing wasn't very good and some of the plot was a bit confusing  *spoilers after this*     it never really understood how tituses character changed and why and it was super confusing why rachel took the blame like ik it was explained but i still didn't understand like if she had always wanted to kill him why did she go through so much work to involve herself in his life and then take the blame cuz she had always wanted to kill him so wouldn't she be mad idk her entire motive was unclear to me

the concept of this book was actually pretty great
it's just the constant pop culture references especially at the start of the book that threw me off
i loved how the theme of classism was involved in this book

I enjoyed this book, but I do feel like there were some aspects of it that weren’t covered in enough detail to allow the reader to fully understand the implications and ramifications.
