3.5 or 4 stars-- maybe 3.75?? After a super slowwww start, this one ended with a plethora of surprises and some pretty intense build-up. Also, mean girls are so fun to read about!

You know what kind of YA Mysteries I like best?? The DARK ones. And 13 Minutes was pretty darn dark. I was surprised, creeped out, and all twisted up while reading this book.

Natasha is a Mean Girl who somehow winds up in the frigid water. Luckily, she's rescued and revived after being "dead" for 13 minutes. She doesn't remember the events that led her to be there, but her besties/minions are acting weird, and her ex-besties/current nobody Becca seems all too happy to jump in to help her figure shit out. Little by little the truth comes out, but that truth is wholly fucked up and costs more than Becca ever imagined.

I love reading about Mean Girls. I know it's overdone and cliché and all that, but there's something about a Mean Girl clique that just hooks me. This particular Mean Girl clique call themselves the Barbies-- and can you get more Plastic™ and awesome than that?? Also, I love reading about teenage friendship dynamics and how the hierarchy of high school puts certain people on pedestals.

Natasha was a character I won't soon be forgetting. I don't want to say too much about her because SPOILERS, but there was an intricate web that surrounded her, and as it unraveled she became someone that I was not quite expecting her to be. I also appreciated that it took one of her oldest friends to truly see what was happening and who Natasha really was. In life, your childhood friends know you before you learn to hide parts of yourself, and I enjoyed seeing that play out.

13 Minutes wasn't perfect though. It started out super slllooow, to the point where I almost put it down. If I didn't have a friend telling me that it got exciting, I probably would've DNF'd. It does pick up around 30% in, and once I got to that point my curiosity was peaked. Also, this book follows Becca a lot and she really wasn't my fave. For being the underdog, she wasn't as likable as I expected her to be. She's in a relationship for much of the book, and she spent a lot of that time obsessing over it. I really could've cared less about her loser boyfriend, Aiden, but she wouldn't shut up about him.

What I did like: The gritty realness of this book. There's drug use, and sex, and swearing, and it held nothing back. I love messed-upness, and there was plenty of it. Multiple twists and surprising reveals changed the tone of the book and kept me turning pages, making this a YES for me in the end.

OVERALL: After a slow start, this book became thrilling and addicting. It's a psychological mystery that had multiple twists and turns. The Mean Girls in this book could definitely rival the kind who wear pink on Wednesdays-- and they made this book all the more intriguing. I highly recommend this to YA Mystery lovers out there.

And finally, a YA thriller with all of the high school popular kid dynamics that I so very much adore!
 
This one was creepy. The way that scenes from Natasha's 13 minutes of death were woven in was very well done, and chilling. I could very much envision the scenes playing out.
 
The ultimate ending was a little bit hard to buy, yet it was clever enough that it worked for me and did the job effectively. I loved all of the set up that it took, how the clues were visible throughout the story yet challenging to put together, and how many aspects were all tied together.
 
If you're not into the cliché high school dynamics, don't read this. Me, I devour them unabashedly. Seeing the way the "friends" in this book interacted made me absolutely gleeful with the impending disaster, and seeing the way that the parents looked upon their little angels, too, was intriguing.
 
A very enjoyable thriller, I recommend this for younger readers of mystery.
 
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Mean Girls just got a whole lot meaner, darker, and deadly in this fast-paced, psychological thriller from Sarah Pinborough. 13 Minutes sucks you in from the very first page and takes you through this tense read bit-by-bit, unraveling truths carefully and intentionally.

Perhaps, one of the things I appreciated most is that 13 Minutes is written in such a way that the reader feels like they are part of the case. What happened to Natasha? Did her best friends try to kill her? Where does Becca fit in? Not only are you getting a gripping story, you are also combing through police records, news clippings, written accounts and Natasha's journal. The first half of the book allows you (the reader) a special "behind the scenes" peek of the case, setting the stage for the perfect murder mystery and a twisty second half.

13 Minutes confirms that not everything is always as it seems. Do we ever truly know our friends? With strikingly believable characters, the reader will cheer on, love, loathe and pity each in all the (seemingly) right places. The villain(s) of this book were capable to make me angry and suspicious - exactly as a villain who is well-written should. Manipulative, terrifying, and deadly... all the important ingredients were there.

... And while this book is most categorized as YA, it is written in such a way that I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller. Yes, our main stars are young but never, ever underestimate them.

Thank you NetGalley and Flatiron books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review and feedback! ( )

Well this book takes Mean Girls to a whole new level - an extreme level. After I finished, I had to seriously just sit and let everything digest, like an overwhelming meal that you never want to end.
Natasha dies for 13 minutes, and survived, seemingly unharmed. She is head of “The Barbies” as she calls her two minions. but they are acting strangely towards her. She cannot remember what happened to her that caused her to die after a fall into the river. she begins talking to Becca, the girl she used to be best friends with before she took on the head Barbie role.
Becca though has her own life-a new best friend and a boyfriend she loves deeply. Natasha still manages to pull her into her tangled web because Natasha believes that she deserves anything and everything she wants, when she wants it.
There are literally so many different webs being spun, it’s difficult to write the review without giving away too much. I was caught up in that web until the very end. And when those webs start to untangle, it’s really hard to tell who is guilty and who is innocent, and ultimately who really is the head spider. ( )

I was super excited to read this having LOVED "Behind Her Eyes". This one is a winner as well. Many twists and turns and I definately recommend. ( )
