Dark YA Noir Mystery Just Not Enjoyable
1:30 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
No one's sure exactly how it happened, but one thing is for certain: vibrant Maggie Kim is dead. Her body has been discovered in the family swimming pool, chock full of pills. Did the flamboyant senior kill herself? Or was it an accident? Maggie's best friend, Jude, can't accept either explanation. Maggie was brilliant, beautiful, and brimming with life. With so much going for her, why would she commit suicide? Jude is convinced something more sinister has happened: murder. But who would want Maggie dead? Suddenly, everyone Maggie knew is looking like a suspect ...
As Jude investigates her friend's death, it becomes painfully apparent that Maggie's been keeping secrets. Did Jude know her BFF at all? What else was Maggie hiding? Did something she knew lead to her untimely death? Jude is determined to find out, even if it means letting her own skeletons out of the closet.

(Readalikes: Reminds me a little of Far From You by Tess Sharpe)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for language (a dozen or so F-bombs, plus milder expletives), mild sexual content, and depictions of underage drinking and the use of illegal drugs
To the FTC, with love: Another library fine find

Man, it totally sucks but I'm starting to think every author has to write a flop. The characters in this one sound horrible. No thanks!
