Review after rereading:

I guess my hyperfixation to this series reignited after watching the show. I appreciated Holly Jackson's writing more after my reread. She is indeed a genius.

And since I can't wait to read again how it all ties together, I'm off to read Good Girl, Bad Blood.

Ugh, I’m so glad I finally read this after years of it being recommended to me! It 1000% lived up to the hype. I loved the main characters, the fun formatting of the book, the writing, the humour, and the unpredictability of the plot. There were so many moving pieces in the story, and I think the author is a genius for how she made it work out so cleanly. The only reasons it’s not a full 5 stars for me are that (a) Pip can be a bit (very) ridiculously stubborn at times, and (b) I was never pushed to the point of tears or throwing my book. I still loved it and am very happy with the ending.

This book was so good! I can see why so many people are obsessed with these series and this is only the first book. I did not see the end coming at all! It's a bittersweet commentary about the human condition. I loved every minute of it!

This is one of my favorite books and that title is not used for many of the books I’ve read. Amazing work. I can’t wait to read book two.

Fun read! I think I like YA for thriller/mysteries because it helps to keep things a little more lighthearted. I loved the formatting of this book, and honestly, would have liked it more if it was all in first person because Pip in her capstone entries is such a compelling character and sometimes when it was third person I felt like she was a bit muddled. It helped that Pip herself seemed aware that she didn’t really know who she was either, so I didn’t stress too much. The mystery was compelling, and I let myself be guiding by Pip, trying to not see too much into it. I wasn’t surprised by the ending but boy was it just kinda heartbreaking! Ravi was a great addition, and I’m a little weirded out by their romance bc of the ages but I can look past it :) I’m interested in the next book, and hoping that pip’s voice only gets stronger! 

Be wary of the content warnings: a lot of triggers aren’t really described in detail but they are mentioned a lot.
