I would give this book 3.5 stars*
I thought this was a super fast pace mystery that really hooked me. It def reminds me lot of both 13reasons why and pretty little liars. The mystery kept me engaged. I had a hard time becoming emotional invested in most of majority of these characters because so many of them were unlikeable especially the lead. But the mystery kept me so engaged. I thought the actions of the police made me so angry but I guess I could see that happens in real life at points. I do see the theme "every action has a consquence even if you don't notice the very similar to shows like 13 reasons why. I would def read more by this author in the future.… (lisätietoja)

After finishing a similar but much better YA mystery Thriller yesterday, this one’s flaws were glaring. I came into it feeling like I came in halfway through a movie and was missing some background. I didn’t understand or feel connection with any of the relationships (Friendships, familial or romantic) It felt like 2 kinds of mystery/thriller books down together. I didn’t feel like it all came together well at the end.
A boring and muddled murder mystery. The conceit is that it is a modern gender-swapped retelling of Hamlet but in a world like ours where Hamlet is also a famous play. Harper Hayes' father has been murdered, and his ghost -- attired in a Hamlet costume from his youthful performance of the role -- is haunting her to find out if her uncle or mother had something to do with it. Harper mopes accordingly as she fumbles slowly through her investigation. She suffers convenient memory lapses that make her a possible suspect also.
The Hamlet hook is not enough to overcome characters who are flat and lacking charisma. It seems like the plot here may twist away from the original, but as with a lot of murder mysteries I read, I really don't care whodunnit or who they dunnit to, so I don't feel much need to come back for future installments.… (lisätietoja)
