"Mean Girls meets Donna Tartt's The Secret History with a little bit of Riverdale mixed in. So yeah, it's epic."--HelloGiggles "In People Like Us, Dana Mele delivers the Gossip Girl meets Pretty Little Liars young adult novel you've been waiting for."--Bustle Kay Donovan may have skeletons in her closet, but the past is past, and she's reinvented herself entirely. Now she's a star soccer player whose group of gorgeous friends run their private school with effortless popularity and acerbic wit. But when a girl's body is found in the lake, Kay's carefully constructed life begins to topple. The dead girl has left Kay a computer-coded scavenger hunt, which, as it unravels, begins to implicate suspect after suspect, until Kay herself is in the crosshairs of a murder investigation. But if Kay's finally backed into a corner, she'll do what it takes to survive. Because at Bates Academy, the truth is something you make...not something that happened. Debut author Dana Mele has written a taut, sophisticated suspense novel that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

The synopsis of this book made it sound very interesting, but I was disappointed with the plot. The characters were not very likable and I had a difficult time reading it for long periods of time.
what this is: a sapphic girls murder mystery with really good writing—writing that'll keep you on the edge of your seat, desperate for more
that being said, i couldn't completely get into it bc some parts were kinda cliché,,, and i realized i'm not very into /mean/ characters who have no vested interest in trying to be better
I liked it a lot more than I thought I would at the start! For some reason, I was put off by the actions of these rich girls and guy, by the end I thought the characters were definitely my favorite part. That doesn't mean they're very likeable though.
