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.
