Great story, great presentation
I really liked the storytelling in this book. And the actors that voiced the characters were very appropriate, many of them sounded a little bit creepy which I think added to the atmosphere of the story.
Some of the storyline, although realistic, was a bit disturbing. A major theme was bullying so be prepared for that if you have any history of it.

I don't quite get it
Good things... Narration was great, I've never listened to a book with a large list of narrators... But it was great.
Good things.. Lots of points of view but you never got lost and they were all working at the same story line so that was great
Also great... The dialogue. No naf or cringy lines. The story flowed
Here is the part that was not so great
Spoiler
If everyone has a reason to kill him it became uninteresting who actually did, cos you are kinda happy for any of them to do it... Its like they all cancel each other out.
Also, it felt like it just ended, I had invested in some of the characters.. I wanted to hear their outcome.
So I don't get all the hype and awards. It didn't do it for me and I don't think I'll rush out to purchase more from the author because I can't trust her with my feelings lol.

So good... until the end.
This book kept me listening to hear more. A couple of good twists, some I saw coming, some I didn't... Unfortunately it was a bit of an anti-climax and I felt like it just ended. A lot of people have said they the characters are un-likeable... They totally are, but I think that's the point!

Loved it but …
Really enjoyed it but one particular twist was over-flagged ahead of time, making it overly predictable. I didn’t mind the drawn out build up - it created intrigue and tension. I would have loved a longer ending. The narrators were great, although I didn’t feel that Will’s voice suited his character.

Riveting
This book kept me glued to my headphones. The way the characters were tied to one central character was very clever, and I didn’t see the ending coming. Five stars

Story good.
The male voices were awful and if not for the female narrators and the story, this would have been dumped before finishing.
Classic who dunnit that keeps you guessing until the end.
