Read in less than 24 hours, this moves so quickly it's hard to keep up with all the red herrings -  please check trigger warnings!! This is v dark subject matter even if lightly written for younger audience. Loved the multimedia effect of the evidence collected in murder investigation and the characters are all quite well drawn, not just the excellent main characters. Engrossing, poignant in places and a vindicating end- Def one of my better reads this year.

hm.  

Spoiler

- lmao during the last chapter i was just googling how much older ravi is than pip.  HES 20 WHEN THEY MEET?? AND SHES 17?? and a senior in high school??? GET AWAY FROM HER !!
-i wish i had liked this book better.  but this book is... weird! and not totally convincing.  and also super sad that this all happened and that sal suffered the most at the end of the day.  
- LOVE a book set in Connecticut though.  like i was LIVING.  i guess i kinda felt like i was there, but not really.

this book was one of the best I’ve read in my life. It was a really emotional and mysterious book. It had some really dark parts as well but also some cute moments going on. And the plots??? I sat there gasping for like 30 minutes sometimes. Just wow. I won’t shut up about this book
