They claim to have been framed. Only four students make it out of detention that long afternoon because one of them dies. Throughout the book, there are all the characters perspectives put to light, and the reader eventually by following the details can find out who is responsible for Simon's death. The suspicions of the police grow and they believe the one of the four students killed Simon because Simon was about to unleash private information about them on his gossip app; however, this was not a murder. Simon had killed himself and wanted to punish the four students who were in detention with him. The four students will do anything to keep the information on the gossip app from getting out. Throughout the book the students go to great lengths to keep their secrets from going public, and it is just a matter of time until they hit their down fall.]]> 2018-05-21 19:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kphillips38/5yg7tahozuf4/wish/262494654 kphillips38 https://padlet.com/kphillips38/5yg7tahozuf4/wish/262498808 This is another person's summary about the book and other thoughts about the storyline to give more information.]]> 2018-05-21 20:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kphillips38/5yg7tahozuf4/wish/262498808 kphillips38 https://padlet.com/kphillips38/5yg7tahozuf4/wish/262500324 This is an interview with the author of this book to give more information about the book and Karen.

This mystery novel hit the New York Bestsellers list and is based upon many different movies such as Pretty Little Liars and Breakfast Club. The characters in the story had similar problems to the characters in Pretty Little Liars, but the people in the story had different social statuses like in The Breakfast Club. Karen McManus is planning on making more thriller novels in the future.]]> 2018-05-21 21:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kphillips38/5yg7tahozuf4/wish/262508421 kphillips38 https://padlet.com/kphillips38/5yg7tahozuf4/wish/262508597 The author of this book is Karen McManus who is a newer writer but very accomplished.
