The quick cut: An Autistic senior finds herself wondering what is going on when 3 of her classmates die.


A real review:

Thank you to Off Limits Press for providing the arc for an honest review.


Being neurodivergent makes you view the world in a different way, but what if that difference helps you catch details others miss? For Bex, that's a reality when 3 of her classmates die in questionable circumstances.


Bex is just another senior trying to make it to graduation when three of her high performing classmates die. Everyone else writes them off as unfortunate tragedies but she sees the connections. Is something nefarious going on?


I wanted to like this story but the ending completely turned me off. It's a quick read and definitely a thrill ride, but in the end Bex is made out to be violent due to her condition. As someone who identifies as neurodivergent, this is the last kind of representation we need.


The ending also feels a bit rushed and not thought out. There are elements that can't be explained by the rationale used and that bothers me so much. It feels sloppy.


A book with the wrong Autistic representation.


My rating: 2 out of 5
