Definitely a Sutanto fan. This was weird to read right after the THEO TAN series but it harkens back to the AUNTIES series, except with less humor. Sutanto creates an environment that, frankly, reminds me of Caroline B. Cooney's LOSING CHRISTINA series. (I should reread that.) A world where gaslighting is the norm as everyone tries to hold onto what power they have. Sutanto adds the element of social media in the form of a school app where people can post "anonymously." Her talent for building up a protagonist who seems to stumble into murder situations is brilliant (both the AUNTIES series and this novel have it). Lia is, of course, the likable heroine who ends up on the wrong side of things. You can't help but root for her. Lots of fun twists and turns and I was along for the ride.
5/5
