Clara tries to warn people, but she quickly realizes that Lily has turned the tables and is framing Clara for a crime she didn’t commit. Clara needs to clear her name, but it’s tough since all of the evidence points to her. Luckily her old friend Henry believes her and they team up to uncover the truth before it’s too late. I was totally invested in Clara’s situation and I stayed up way too late because I had to find out what happened!

Most Likely to Murder - Lish McBride

When a prank list of mock yearbook superlatives starts coming true in terrifying ways, best friends Rick and Martina find themselves labeled Homecoming’s Cutest Corpses. When a teacher on the list turns up dead, the pair must team up with the other targeted students to unmask the real killer. Equal parts darkly funny and fast-paced, this mystery turns high school gossip into a high-stakes race against time.

I absolutely loved this book. The characters are funny and snarky but also have a lot of heart. Rick and Martina have amazing families and I loved that the characters weren’t stereotypical. This book is a super fun thrill ride!
