From Goodreads: Hartley Grace Featherstone is having a very bad day. First she finds out that her boyfriend is cheating on her with the president of the Herbert Hoover High School Chastity Club. Then he's pegged as the #1 suspect in a murder. And if that weren't enough, now he's depending on Hartley to clear his name. Seriously? Not cool.
But as much as Hartley wouldn't mind seeing him squirm, she knows he's innocent, and she's the only one who can help him. Along with her best friend, Sam, and the school's resident Bad Boy, Chase, Hartley starts investigating on her own. But as the dead bodies begin to pile up, the mystery deepens, the suspects multiply, and Hartley begins to fear that she may be the killer's next victim.
This book is seriously good! It's just so funny - and really enjoyable to read. I loved it.
I really liked Hartley - she's funny, likeable, a bit daft but has a great way with words and is a brilliant narrator for the story. I also really loved her friend Sam - apparently she is trying to censor her swearing and comes up with some great alternatives. Plus I liked how she was always there for Hartley.
I really didn't like Josh. He comes across as a bit of a jerk - and then completely proves it about half way through the story with what he says to Hartley. If I had been her I would have been very tempted to punch him ... or kick him where it hurts. Hard! Not that I advocate violence or anything...
Chase on the other hand is just plain gorgeous! I completely loved him - that scene in the bedroom (yes he was shirtless but no it's not what you are thinking!) was really funny. And I have to agree with Sam... I think I would have let him continue... lol. But, anyway, I loved the interactions between Chase and Hartley - they definitely have chemistry.
The mystery is really good too - I wasn't sure who it was going to be - so I didn't find it predictable at all. I really do seem to be losing my skills in that department - but in my defence the book is (and I know I keep saying this) really, really funny so that's a great distraction.
A great first installment in what I hope is many more books in the series. I am definitely looking forward to Social Suicide when it's released.
