I really liked all of the individual characters and their stories but the overall wrapping up of the plot fell flat. I just couldn’t wrap my head around the ending and how those kids went through everything they did for the culprit to be who it was and for it to end over one of the characters feeling so slighted by actions of others. It was almost not believable. I also thought it wrapped up super quickly when it could’ve been dragged out longer. I also thought their were some plot points that were left unexplained.
