Welcome to the Thrashers, the elite friend group at New Helvetia High.
They’re everything everyone wants to be.
Jodi Dillon was never meant to be one of them. Julian, Lucy, Paige, and the infamous Zack Thrasher are rich, sophisticated, and love attention. Jodi feels out of place, but Zack’s her childhood best friend, so she’s in.
Then Emily Mills, who desperately wanted to be a Thrasher, dies—and the whispers about the Thrashers begin. As Emily’s journal surfaces, detectives close in, and Jodi faces an impossible choice: betray her friends or protect herself.
But as eerie messages and strange occurrences escalate, it becomes clear—Emily isn’t done with them yet.
I was really looking forward to reading this book, but sadly, I was not happy when I finished. This review may get a bit spoilery, so skip it if you want to read the book. The premise of the book is that there is a popular group called The Thrashers in the local high school. Emily desperately wants to be a part of the group. When she dies, the Thrashers are blamed for it after the police read her journal. Of course, there is more to her death and the truth in the end is a direction that I couldn't get behind.
Suicide as a form as revenge is not a likable plotline. All of the teens in this book were horrible, even Jodi. She made some really poor decisions. Of course the golden boy Zach gets away with his crime and Julian, the only semi-likable character, gets the worst ending. It made me want to through my book across the room. I really would not recommend this book.
