This book is amazing the plot just never sits still and the characters are so believable and unique and I just loved it , however for some people this may be very triggering but if you do decide to read it I’m sure you’ll enjoy the story xx

Two YA Thrillers in a row?! Who is she?! 

This was my book club pick this month and I wasn't sure what to expect as this is normally not my genre but I was very into this book. With quick chapters and an easy-to-read flow between regular chapters & interview-style paragraphs made things move quickly. 

Pip & Ravi were great characters to root for and I like that the book kept me guessing until the very end. I got a little nervous once I found out that this was a series that we might not get to know all the answers by the end of the book. A lot of morally gray characters and interesting twists and turns but nothing too gory or intense. 

I really enjoyed this read and might think of trying a few more YA thrillers. Maybe this is my sweet spot.

slow start, the entries were much more interesting than the narrativa chapters, but it picks up the pace pretty well, one of the only books with an happy epilogue that’s actually good

AFSHSKLFLESGDJKSL THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD. if I could inject this book into my bloodstream I would—holy shit. the amount of plot twists had me gasping out loud, I live for all of the characters, the outcome was so messed up but so beautifully woven together it works so well. I’m not going to lie and say that this book didn’t scare me (the cute puppy videos I had to watch at 2am to fall asleep are proof enough) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. 100/5 stars if you like messed up mysteries, murder, and cute couples involved in slightly illegal shenanigans you will enjoy this book.

“You’re not just some anything. You’re Pippa fricking Fitz-Amobi.”

I- Holy shit. I couldn't put this book down because it's so good!!!! I think the last 20% of the book really kept me on my toes. This was such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There's suspense, there's comedy, there's sad moments, and everything in between. I love that this book was fast paced and I did not find a single moment boring. This was a well-done mystery, and for someone who hasn't really read much of the genre this one was pretty enjoyable. It maybe predictable at times but it was exciting to read. The narration of the book was something I liked, too, with the switching between the third person's narration and Pip's logs and transcripts

I love Pip and her family so much, I love their dynamic. Ravi and Cara, my two besties, I love you. Ngl, I thought Ravi was the same age as them but apparently he's three years older lol. I really couldn't care less about the other characters (except the ones I previously mentioned and the Singhs) they can all burn in Hell.
