Antisocial by Jillian Blake

I picked up Antisocial from our newly purchased books shelf and was pleasantly surprised at how much I was into this mystery. Anna Soler is an introverted artist who spends most of her time in the art room at Prep, a co-ed private school, who recently broke up with Palmer, the star basketball player. She suffers severe anxiety and experienced a treatment center for it, and now is immersed in a major hack job that releases text messages, social media posts, and DMs to every student at Prep. While trying to mend her friendship with her two best friends whom she turned her back on during her relationship with Palmer, she breathes a sigh of relief each day her private texts are not hacked into and released for all to see and judge, particularly her former best friends. I highly recommend this book because it kept me engaged the entire time and I was so anxious to find out who the hacker was, if Anna would mend her relationship with her friends, and what the outcome would be for all the students at Prep. Though the hacker is revealed much before the end, the story all comes together at the climatic point that brings somberness, but also closure to the release of everyone's personal and for some, illegal or inappropriate actions.
