I'm surprised this book has such a high rating. I get that the suspense or the whodunit aspect is appealing, but seriously, the story was all over the place! It's broken up into parts told from two different perspectives - one from the dead girl's ex-boyfriend, and the other from the dead girl's cousin. The first two parts go from present to various past times, like "eighth grade fall semester" or "freshman year spring semester", but all out of order. Who can keep track? After a while I didn't even want to keep track, I just kept reading so I could find out who killed Carly already. The latter half of the book doesn't even have these "flashbacks" anymore, so it just comes off as really convoluted. I found the characters to be kind of annoying and the whole story of how and why Carly got killed uninteresting. Didn't like the characterizations, didn't like the setting, didn't like the plot. The title is great though.
