Blurb from Goodreads:
Emma
Putnam is dead, and it's all Sara Wharton's fault.
At least, that's what everyone seems to think when Sara, along with her best friend and three other classmates, has been criminally charged for the bullying and harassment that led to Emma's shocking suicide. But Sara is sure she hasn't done anything wrong, because Emma brought it on herself. Sara is adamant that she was the victim - not Emma.
My Review:

3/5 stars
Sara
Wharton is one of several people charged with bullying and harassment when Emma
Putnam commits suicide.
Emma was constantly put down by Sara and her friends
but Sara doesn't think that she did anything wrong.
This
story switches from the present where Sara is facing a trial and the past before
Emma's suicide.
It was interesting to see a story from the bully's point of
view but I didn't agree at all with what Sara and Brielle (her best friend)
did.
Although it did seem to me that Sara just went along with whatever Brielle
suggested but that didn't mean she was any less guilty about what
happened.
I'm glad that Sara realised
that what she had done was wrong and became a better person but it was sad that
Sara would have to deal with what happened for the rest of her life.
Overall
this was an easy but good, thought-provoking read that I would recommend.
