The premise of this story seemed interesting and even though it took me way longer that it should have, this book was actually pretty good. 
 Lawyer Kate Baron gets a call at her office on a busy day to come to the office to pick up her daughter Amelia who is in trouble. Kate is shocked by this as her daughter had never been in trouble and gets to the office late only to discover that her daughter is dead. She apparently jumped off the roof. A few months later a distraught Kate gets a text from an unknown number, "Amelia didn't jump." 
 The story does something weird here, where you hear the story from Amelia's point of view a few months before the apparent suicide. The author does well by switching the voices between the mother and the daughter. One is struggling with her daughter's death, the other is struggling with surviving the exclusive high school she belongs too. 
 As the story unfolds on both perspectives the list of suspects grows with each page. While Kate has a list of secrets and men who could potentially be Amelia's father and part of the mystery, Amelia gets herself involved in a group who call themselves the Magpies and immediately rubs the leader Zadie the wrong way. Amelia then falls in love with another member called Dylan. The story grazes over Amelia's discovery that she was gay. It was an interesting plot development and I think I appreciate that it was just a thing that happened to be true, rather than what defined Amelia as a person. 
 As the story plays out, the suspects all look incredibly suspicious at different times in the story and the pace is brisk without getting bogged down with the amount of characters you're expected to remember. The story closes in an anti-climatic way and honestly you hate that you got to hear from Amelia and learned to like her only to see her die. You feel sorry for Kate because even though she is moving forward in the end, she lost her only daughter. 
 The narrative voice was odd at times and the book could have used a few edits, but over all I was pleased with the read and the author did a great job at answering all the questions she posed, even the ones you didn't realize needed answering.
