Characters:
There are five main characters, all in the same friend group. But as different as their faces are, so are their lives and problems. Identity, love, and family ties them together.
They are teenagers that are each trying to discover who they are and where they fit in the world. Their individual families also rub off on how the act and react in situations.
Writing Style:
The book is written from a third person point of view with focus on each character. However, there are frequent switches to first person. There is an equal distribution of attention for all the members of the group. It is a very dialogue focused plot.
Spellings and Vocabulary:
Spelling and grammar have little to no mistakes. The vocabulary used is simple and understandable. Paragraphing can be improved. Each dialogue has its own paragraph and description can be bulky.

Overall Impression:
The plot of the story is very unique and well articulated. There is no confusion in the distinct voices of each character. Despite the fact that many stories are happening at once, it is not mixed up but instead links with each other.
From the ways they show emotion and their dialogue, you can clearly tell that they are just teenagers, navigating their life together.
However, the thriller aspect of it falls flat when it is connected to the main story. It doesn't really fit well. It feels more like a slice-of-life teenage drama story.
Recommendation:
I want to advise you to remove any form of 'I,' 'me' or any personal pronoun, given that the majority of the book is in third person. Because I still don't know who 'I' is. There are a lot of main characters, so it is better to just use their names. Stick to just third person pov.
If the intention of the author was to write a crime-thriller, they haven't succeeded in doing that. The book is very identity-focused. However, we get a glimpse of well-written thriller scenes here and there but they don't really connect with the main story. It can leave the readers very confused.
