For fans of Holly Jackson and Karen M. McManus, "The Observer" is an incredible book that combines mystery, friendship, and sass in perfect proportions. The Sun praises it as "fun, twisted, and insightful," stating that it will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Adiba Jaigirdar, the YA Book Prize-winning author of "Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating," also highly recommends the book, stating that it will captivate readers from the start.

I must make it clear from the outset: I did not kill Hugh Henry Van Boren. I did not even help. Well, not intentionally. When Hugh Henry Van Boren, one of the most popular and richest kids in Jess Choudhary's school, is found dead, the student body is left reeling and wondering who the murderer could be. Jess, a student under strict instructions to keep her record clean or risk losing her scholarship, finds herself at the center of the investigation when it's revealed that Hugh died in the exact same way as a character in a short story she wrote.

And then, Jess receives an anonymous text thanking her for the inspiration. With time running out, Jess knows that if she doesn't solve this mystery, she'll finally have something in common with Hugh Henry. She'll be dead too.
