Good Girl, Bad Blood

I couldn't decide if I want to write us a three-star or four-star. The beginning was boring and the second half took so many strange twists and I haven't decided how I feel about it. It was entertaining and I literally read it in one day but at the same time I can't stand the main character. I also have some issues with the fact that this is usually sold as a YA book. It's probably because I'm a mom now, but keep in mind that YA targets 12 to 18 year olds. I would not want my tween/teen being marketed a book where the son of a child murderer gets shot in front of a high school student. It just takes such a dark turn from the previous book that it almost feels like a completely different story. That being said, I did enjoy it, and while, listening to the audiobook, I can say it's really well done and entertaining to listen to, it's almost like listening to a true crime podcast. There's just certain aspects about it that feels a little bit immature even though it touches on very sensitive topics (ex. A known rapist getting let go, death of loved ones, sexual abuse, minors drinking, drug use, child abuse, child murder, regular ol' murder, bullying, catfishing, marital abuse, burning a building with people inside, etc etc etc).
