Ok, what can I say? I love this book :D Seriously. Melissa isn't afraid to put twists in her writing and kill her main characters. And I wasn't that surprised when Lawrence basically said that it'll come down to a fight between Bliss and Schuyler. And I was really sad when Schuyler broke it off with Jack, I read that chapter on bluebloodsbooks.com and it made me soo sad because Jack really does L-O-V-E her. And I hope that her and Jack find a way to make it work in other books. Because Ollie won't last forever and Schuyler might.
After reading this, I feel sorry for the people who stopped reading it after the first book because they stupidly compared it to Twilight, because now they've missed the chance to read a very excellent book...

While the mystery of this book was interesting and I could get past the stereotypes, I could not get past the portrayal of person's death by suicide being the main plot twist. The demonization of a person who was suffering is absolutely cruel. The systematic display of how his the four students “contributed” to his suicide and how another student benefitted from his suicide is an especially villainous plot on the part of the author. The book was okay until it got this final twist. Really so embarrassed for all the times that I've recommended this book to teens.
