Death by Reputation by Amy Christine Parker is a fun, YA mystery.
Ruby is a senior in high school as well as writing an anonymous blog called Reputation Killer. When she posts her latest blog taking down the king of the senior class, she's outed as the writer. Things only go downhill from there. In addition, Ruby has started seeing her ghost dressed in a prom dress leading her to believe that she'll be killed during the senior prom. What's a girl to do?
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this digital ARC.
Firstly, thank you for the copy of this book. I appreciate Amy Parker for writing this. I found that it was a great read. The style does read very High School and that is fitting due to the character being the narrator. I found there were a lot of tropes such as extremely attractive antagonists and the wealth status constantly used as a reference. For example: Jansport vs Prada backpacks. The plot is very compelling, and it is interesting how it mentions death figuratively frequently at first. There were a ton of twists which I definitely love. I found the idea of a ghost version of her and how she is trying to stop the future. This really was a solid read and perfect for a spooky evening. 4 Stars out of 5 because I am personally not massively into the beauty tropes constantly. This also reminded me of Mean Girls in a way. I will be suggesting this for the library and recommend it to patrons.
I absolutely loved this book! It was such a fun read and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire thing! I loved the ending and all the twists and turns to try and figure out what was happening and who was trying to kill her! This book was right up my alley and I can't wait until it comes out so I can start recommending it!
