      It took me a while to get into this book because I haven't read the previous books and was confused about the characters. But once I did, I found it to be a fascinating picture of high school life. It would have gotten a fourth star but I was annoyed by the spoiler on the cover flap which mentioned a killer - I spent the entire novel waiting for this to happen and trying to guess who the killer would be. I dislike spoilers. If the author had wanted to give away the ending, it was her right to do so, not the publisher's.
