Chloe loses the Head Girl position to Nikhita while remaining connected to the secret Jewel and Bone society at Morton Academy.
Nikhita sabotages Chloe’s Head Girl bid and takes Theo; Chloe later recognises that she has also treated other people badly.
Students record perceived wrongs and imagined punishments in the Book of Crime and Punishment; later entries appear to match deaths among society members.
Murder and deaths are central, alongside a record of imagined punishments and an atmosphere of suspicion. Friendship betrayal, romantic rejection and social cruelty may deserve attention if these themes could feel personally difficult.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
