What Thayer students are saying:
"You should pick up and read this book if you like two alone people becoming friends."
"It's really good in the sense that it shows the dark side of how school can affect someone. It also shows how to people who don't like themselves become friends, and how even if you think you will be alone forever, you won't. It's also about a mystery of the group Solitaire, who keeps pranking the school. The Solitaire group keeps getting more intense until it accidentally starts to harm the students. It's a really good book and I would recommend reading it."
