The Thrashers

*NetGalley & Libro.fm ALC Review *

What happens when a group of high schoolers gets caught up in a twisted web of obsession, secrets, and lies? The Thrashers centers on five teens who suddenly find themselves in the spotlight after a younger student—who was seriously obsessed with all of them—dies by suicide. Now, someone’s pointing fingers, and the truth? It’s messy. And dangerous.

If you’re into twisty thrillers that give off One of Us Is Lying and Pretty Little Liars vibes, this one should be on your TBR ASAP! ✨📖

I had such a good time hanging with the Thrashers crew (even if I didn’t trust half of them, let’s be real) and trying to piece together what was actually going on. And the epilogue?? Yeah, I was not ready. Don’t skip it—seriously. You’ll thank me later. ⚡️

This book is super bingeable—you’ll fly through it in no time. 🚀 It dives into high school drama, popularity contests, secrets, and the pressure to be perfect. So if those themes hit close to home, maybe take a beat before diving in.

Content warnings: ⚠️ suicide, bullying, drug use (consensual + non-consensual), alcoholic parent. Take care of yourself first—your mental health matters! ❤️‍🩹

Welcome to the Thrashers, the elite friend group at New Helvetia High.

They’re everything everyone wants to be.

Jodi Dillon was never meant to be one of them. Julian, Lucy, Paige, and the infamous Zack Thrasher are rich, sophisticated, and love attention. Jodi feels out of place, but Zack’s her childhood best friend, so she’s in.

Then Emily Mills, who desperately wanted to be a Thrasher, dies—and the whispers about the Thrashers begin. As Emily’s journal surfaces, detectives close in, and Jodi faces an impossible choice: betray her friends or protect herself.

But as eerie messages and strange occurrences escalate, it becomes clear—Emily isn’t done with them yet.

A twisty thrill-ride of unforgettable drama and suspense that “encapsulates the vulnerability of adolescents playing adult games” (Ali Hazelwood) from USA Today bestselling author Julie Soto, The Thrashers will keep you up at night desperate to read just one more page.
