It's well-written and all but you know... this is the story from the POV of some 14 year old who wasn't there and who didn't DO anything... not the most interesting perspective. Basically, chick has a crush on the chick who did the real killings. Why not tell the active participant's story instead? I'm not sure I care that a chick who had a crush on another chick instead did the deed with a rock star and Charles-Manson-by-another-name to impress a girl who kills people to impress Manson. There needs to be something else? But it's nice to see somebody who at least tries to tell a complex story. I don't think I need any more faux-cheery stories with no real conflicts and dangers because someone decreed we should only have cheerful LGBT stories in 2016...
