All- star, Cooper, is the perfect baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of the famous gossip app.
After all five of them end up in detention, there is an incident where only four of them make it out alive. Simon dies, yet this wasn’t an accident, according to the investigation. Simon planned to post something about all four of the remaining students on Tuesday, making them suspects to his murder.
Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. EVERY chapter has another twist making it hard to put down. I did get sad once it was over, BUT I am happy that I discovered that the novel will be turned into a TV series!
