What is it about the YA Girl-solves-mystery-with-her-hot-but-troubled-love-interest trope that gives the reading community a raging boner (me included)?? I loved this book and it sounds typical but my favorite part was the last twist. I know the sole purpose of a mystery book isn't to be unpredictable but to entertain but I still love a good surprise!!! I'm a simple girl who's easily entertained.

Even after reading this for a second time the narrative never failed to keep me at the edge of my seat. I was inspired by the cast announcement and to say I’m excited is downplaying it to an extreme. I cannot wait to see Pip and Ravi in live action. Though I love this book my second read through gave me a couple more questions.

How was Mr. Ward so convinced the girl he was holding captive was Andie? He had no prior signs of mental illness yet he was so deluded he managed to convince himself entirely. Why didn’t Pip face repercussions for trespassing into the Bell’s home? Or did she leave that evidence out of her final report?

I loved this book. I kept trying to guess what actually happened, only to be completely wrong. WOW
