You’ll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus
My name is Bria, I am a ski racer, swimmer, and dancer. I love reading in my free time
You’ll be the Death Me is a compelling murder mystery. It is about three friends from middle school who reunite in their senior year of high school. That day Ivy (one of three friends) was in the senior class presidential race and lost against somebody who entered as a joke. The next day, the news class president had to give a speech and Ivy did not want to go. Mateo, another main character, had been working double shifts and three jobs ever since her mom’s bowling alley got shut down and he needed some rest. Cal, the final friend, had no reason not to go to school and no reason to go to school. They all randomly met up in the middle of the high school parking lot and decided to skip school together and have a fun day like they did in sixth grade, but the day didn’t end up like that at all. That day one person is murdered, Cal and Ivy almost get killed, and drug dealers are exposed.
I read this book in less than a week it was so engaging. I enjoyed all the plot twists it made the book so much more engaging. I also enjoyed the perspective; it was first-person switching between people. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes murder mysteries and anyone who likes an engaging story that throws you off. I could not stop reading this book. I thought it was amazing and exhilarating.
