I loved this book! It is about five kids who got into detention. There's Addy, the beautiful girls who does nothing but rely on her boyfriend, Jake. Bronwyn, the smart A plus student. Nate, who is a criminal with family problems. Cooper, a jock who has a perfect girlfriend, Keely. And Simon, who is the creator of Bayview high's gossip app, About That. But only four leave alive. Simon drank a cup of water which possibly had what he was allergic to, and he died. Police suspect a murder. I don't want to spoil you, but the ending was suprising. Would recommend it for 10 to 16, or anyone who liked A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

“Pretty Little Liars meets The Breakfast Club” (EW.com) in this “flat-out addictive” (RT Book Reviews) story of what happens when five strangers walk into detention and only four walk out alive.
Pay close attention and you might solve this.
On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention.
Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule.
Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess.
Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.
Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.
And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app.
Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose?
Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.

This book is the best murder mystery book ever because you think know the murderer but you keep guessing other because the person is very surprising to all murder mystery fans out their.
I liked this book, but it definitely had some content. I liked Bronwyn, and I think that the author did an amazing job with the mystery of this book. You will never guess who really killed Simon, but at the end it seems so obvious.
The description is absolutely correct. It's addicting. Amazing plot with incredibly realistic characters. It's an extremely honest reflection of the dark reality that we're living in. I loved every twist and turn of it. Amazing book!! Read it and its sequel! 😘
If you like mystery/murder books this is for you! This book is about 4 students who go to detention for the same thing that they all did not do. They think that someone planned it because the other student that was in detention died. He drank water and died....how??? U may ask. He had. A peanut allergy and there was peanut oil in his cup! Did he do it or did someone else? Read the book to find out!
The Bayview four, a story in which 5 students walk in detention and only 4 walkout. The brains, jock, the classic bad boy, the loner, and the popular. They were all around the news attempting to sort out how the fifth individual was killed. Secrets were being shared, friendships were being broken. With the stars crossing, betrayment lies in the middle of them. The individual who was helping behind the homicide was directly before them. I recommend this book to someone who loves romance, mystery, and spine chillers.
So far it is really good. I enjoy how it is written from different perspectives and I enjoy the characters' personalities. So far I have no idea who committed the crime but i hope to find out. I would definitely suggest reading it if you're into murder mysteries or just mystery stories in general.
I want to read this book!! ekkkk is sounds really interesting!! Do ya'll recommend it?!
Seems intresting!

I loved the book but towards the ending it became quite dry. I mean it kind of ended weirdly because I expected some crazy twist but the ending was quite safe. I read the first four chapters in 2hrs and it was so intriguing I wanted to read more. The book is aimed at teens like me but I think it depends on mature you are not how old. So a 10 year old could definitely read it.
