This is the first book I've read from NetGalley and I went into it very excited to read it. I thought the cover and title looked fun and interesting. The synopsis of the book had me psyched to read about a high school student solving a mystery, ala Veronica Mars or maybe even Pretty Little Liars. 
 What I got instead was a story about a girl named Alexis, a self-proclaimed "Queen B!tch," who spends the whole book trying to tell anyone who will listen that she's not falling for the "perfect" all-star football player Brett while they take care of a fake baby for health class. The mystery plot that the blurb says the book is about is a mere B plot storyline that feels like it's randomly thrown in for no real reason. The synopsis also talks about how Alexis begins to see past high school stereotypes, which doesn't really happen. In fact at one point the stereotypical and two-dimensional characters in this book have a conversation about why stereotypes are bad while continuing to stereotype people. This is just one example of the characters being hypocritical to what they preach. Alexis claims to be an "uber-feminist," but manages to not only treat the guys in this book like crap but also slut shame every female character multiple times. She scoffs at the idea of sex and judges her friend for having it, sniffs Brett's hair when she's near him and constantly berates her "hormones" for liking him, and thinks he's perfect even though all he does is stare at her chest. The characters just weren't likable in my opinion and Alexis doesn't change or grow throughout the entire book. For someone who is such a big "b!tch" and can apparently intimidate the whole school with her blog, she seems to care more about what everyone else thinks of her instead of just doing her own thing. 
 This book felt like two separate stories that were combined into one because they needed more pages. We spend about 120 pages reading about Alexis and Brett's love-hate relationship while taking care of this fake baby and then in the final 40 pages Brett goes from all-star football player to hacker nerd (whaaaat?) and (view spoiler)[solves this random locker room mystery all by himself (hide spoiler)]. So basically this book claims to be about a girl who exposes a high school scandal and they only spend 40 pages of the whole book on that storyline? It doesn't make any sense. And on top of that the "culprit" is (view spoiler)[a character who literally didn't have a role in the book. It was a completely random person who wasn't mentioned ONCE and we didn't even get to learn WHY the person did it to begin with (hide spoiler)]. Plus if this was real life, the police would've been on that case in about a second. It's just not worth it to include a mystery like this one if that's not what the whole story is about. It was completely weak and not necessary to the story at all. 
 With that, I'm sad to say I had to give this book one star because...well...I just didn't like it. 
 I have received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
