This book was... meh. It was predictable. There were no twists, you know who the killer is from the beginning. Because they tell you. Nothing unexpected or surprising happens. Not what I would categorize as a thriller.
This one is whip-smart and fast paced. I read it in two days, and I thoroughly enjoyed the characters -of which there are many – teachers, students, over bearing ruthless parents. I had no difficulty keeping them straight in my head. Having raised teenagers and managed the stressors of college applications/admissions, plus having worked in a private school- the dialogue, internal narratives, and characterizations all feel authentic. Definitely recommend
Teddy who is teacher of the year at a very posh private high school just can't be bothered with all the parents of his student's who just want the “best” for their child. With changed grades or extra credit. Or other teachers who stand in his way.
