review 1: Willa Rowan is dead and her four friends are positive they know who the killer is. As a wealthy, spoiled boy, the community won't dare place blame or seek justice: Willa's death is considered an accident. But her sister and friends are determined to seek justice. Chapters alternate between girls and we learn a little about each one. None of the girls is particularly likeable and their plots are so juvenile that I didn't root for them to win. It's an interesting read but far from a great book. 3.5 stars. Appropriate for high schoolers.
review 2: I'm hovering around 2.5 stars for this one...I wanted to like it more than I did, but most of these girls' revenge ideas were pretty stupid, which lost them some points. They're no Veronica Mars. I wish that the idea a... moret the end, of going global and focusing on similar injustices worldwide, rather than just their case, had been taken further. The premise is interesting, but just a little bit too unbelievable. I mean, I read plenty of books with pretty unrealistic premises, but the author makes me believe in that world. This time, they didn't really quite manage it. This one was overall ok, but disappointing. less
