At first, I thought that this book wasn’t McGinnis’s usual horror, but by the end, I realized it was horrific in a whole new way. A group of high school students tries to change the way sex ed is presented to kids in the district with an underground “class” and social media account. As these things tend to do, it all goes horribly wrong. We know from the start that someone doesn’t make it to the end, but we don’t know who until the end. Prepare to get your heart broken a few times before this one is over – I love it!
