Queen B’s Decree: I was enthralled by The Thrashers; I couldn’t put it down.
The story is told entirely through the point-of-view of Jodi, one of the Thrashers—the name for the clique of popular and rich kids. Except Jodi isn’t rich, and she doesn’t feel popular. The story unfolds after a girl who infiltrates their group commits suicide at the end of the previous school year…and the Thrashers are targeted for bullying.
I felt like I was getting all the clues and details just as Jodi was; that I was just as invested and involved in the story. And the story was so much more than the mystery; it delved into the interpersonal relationships between the clique members and how much can be hidden beneath the surface.
The ending epilogue really threw me and I was shooketh. I’m hoping for more books to come in this world as I’d love to revisit it.
