challenging emotional hopeful mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

so this is basically reflect of reality imo. rich kids getting away with dealing consequences of their criminal and evil actions just because a foundation benefits from their parents money. this is sick but i truly wished this book wouldve been less realistic. i wanted these boys to suffer from their actions, they were just given probation and .... transferred into homeschooling. i also wish francis hadnt been the one who killed jude. it was unnecessary, i wouldve truly wanted it to be one of the girls or some shit esp sade. AND why the fuck did april with the faith of taking the blame? for the sake of love? theyre 17, they barely knwo themselves yet but they rather take blame of a serious crime...jesus. it wouldve added more if elizabeth was actually killed by jude. also what if jamila didnt exist and sade was jamila, changed her name and all that or pretended to be jamila! that wouldve been entertaining for sure, they were twins after all. i dont know, i guess i was waiting for a more sinister turn of events so much that i forgot this is a...YA book.  i did enjoy it but obviously i think this wouldve better with some changes. this certainly wasnt an awful book but i rather indulge in more.. different kind of books
