Crime novels aren't usually my type of thing, but I really enjoyed this one! I thought the format was really unique and gripping, it really felt like I was watching a TV show. 

I liked the way we were presented with the evidence at the same time as the investigators, and could have a go at being detectives too. The mixed media element of the novel really added to my enjoyment of it too.

i
well
ok

mid.

it wasn't giving what i thought it was gonna give which is unfortunate. no i can't solve the case before they do because they didn't give us anything to work with rgnjgdfnjfdnj
there were a lot of words but no meaning! the format was funky fresh tho i did like that its smn new but like the second half of the book had me ????? what like not shocked about whats happening but because i had not a single clue what was going on

why did we spend so much time talking about not one but two (2) stolen identities and how everyones been connected to the case and yet somehow all of that meant nothing because the ending was rushed and not even about any one of those people

but i did like how nick was being haha funny about revealing everything he was so 🤭about it ,,, how wonderful i bet hes an aries

 

also what the fuck was that ending lmao ???? like i guessed who it was but that was very rushed and anticlimactic and we hadnt even heard from him for the last 50 pages so he was kinda already gone ig

anyway i mean it was fine i guess
