The protagonist has received both a $10,000 spending spree and relief from his desperate need to urinate. The catch: he's now a girl, and has to spend the entire amount within an hour (now, 52 minutes) or he stays one forever.

I only realized recently that the protagonist and narrator is a young lady, Crystal. For some reason, I always thought of the narrator as male. I don't really know why.

I'm leaning toward the author being the ditz rather than the protagonist. First, we had someone leaving items and chemicals connected with the death of Cheyenne in Reed's new itty-bitty single room. And now, someone has vandalized her room, again with reminders of Cheyenne. First, she dashes to the restroom to vomit -- fair enough. But then, she cleans up the room without complaining to the dormitory adult.

The latest subject victim surrenders to a vampire, in her fantasies.

Celeste finally had her threesome with her friend's parents -- just after graduation.

Celeste has finally reconnected with the parents of her roommate of two years back, just after graduation.

Celeste is with Mr. and Mrs. Yu, and chapter ten begins thus: "What does two years of expectation sound like?"

Celeste's vacation finally ends -- without the threesome scene I was expecting. The story doesn't end there, though. Chapter 9 begins after the spring semester ends, and Yvonne and Celeste move apart.

Seduction has begun.

It just might be the beginning of you-know-what. Mr. and Mrs. Yu is visiting Celeste's bedroom.

It's Christmas Day, and Celeste starts out her family tradition of Christmas Day in pajamas. Mr. Yu appears in pajamas as well. Apparently, for some reason, Yvonne hates Christmas -- or was Mr. Yu joking?

Another night of self-enjoyment in conjunction with Celeste's friend's parents in the next room, separated by a thin wall. If that wasn't enough, the bed's board smacks the wall in rhythm.

It's now breakfast, after an interesting night. Celeste's guestroom is next to the parents' room.

Celeste has overheard Yvonne's parents through the wall.

I'm majorly confused about what's happening and who's who. I've just ended a chapter on a cliff-hanger, in which Reed thinks she has blackmail material on Noelle.

I'm about to begin the chapter, "Enemies Everywhere".

As I discovered the hard way recently, anyone can wind up holding the Idiot Ball. I'll try to be more tolerant of the protagonist. I still wish that she'd gone to the police, or perhaps school administration, when she found the poison in her new room.

I just finished four short chapters. Reed tries to keep her head up, and not let her status as the campus outcast get to her. She begins by focusing on her teachers in class -- improving grades, perhaps? Outside of class, a few students are friendly with her.

The murder victim may have been intimate with someone named S. O. When I saw S. O., I thought it might be an abbreviation for "Significant Other".

I've finished Chapter 2. The first lines of Chapter 3 has Celeste retiring for the night, thanks to the first semester's exhaustion, and probably the turn-on of Yvonne's parents.

I just finished another chapter -- they aren't numbered. The entire school has decided that the MC, Reed, has murdered Cheyenne. Even Greg, whom Reed describes as "brutally honest" won't give her a straight answer.

I backtracked a notch, and I've just finished a chapter. The chapter ended when Reed found Ivy's picture of herself posing friendly with three others, one of whom apparently killed in a previous story.

That boarding school...

I began reading today -- Nov. 14, 2023 -- and just finished the first chapter.

There is just too much about how much of a prodigy the narrator was growing up -- a special type of being, reading at the adult level when he was five -- his parents being the first and easiest to mesmerize.

They're at Dad and Stepmom's Christmas dinner. Gage (the stalking PI Stepmom hired) and Knox (her male BFF) arrived with her, and Lance (her trainer) has just shown up. Bose (her boss) just texted her, and I have a hunch...

Because of the mal-formatting to the point of gibberish, I've returned it for refund.

Starting Chapter 16.

I may have to return this. It's displaying gibberish.
