The plot twist did leave me shocked but I just don’t think YA detective mystery murder books are for me lol. Medium paced, couldn’t connect to the characters but a well written book and I can see where the hype came from. Not too memorable and Tbh I kept reading to know the ending but I think it was worth it. There is animal death which, looking at the Goodreads reviews, is why some people gave this book a low rating

I absolutely enjoyed this book. I don’t know what I expected from it, but it definitely wasn’t what it ended up being. I would 100% read it again and I’m so excited for the whole  series Holly Jackson published with the same characters and everything.
The Plot Twist(s !) are absolutely shocking and amazing and the book is so well written!
The whole solving a crime the police closed (not finished case)  is so girl-boss and slay I love it!!!!!!!
also I really like the characters, especially Pippa

Spoiler

although I was pretty annoyed with her about how she handled the whole death threats situation. I would’ve gone to a trusted person and tell them but that’s how she reacted ig

Spoiler

The Love Story of Pip and Ravi was so fucking obvious and wasn’t well integrated in the story. They just kissed once and hold hands at the end of the book and you have to make everything up :/ hopefully we see mire between them

I so enjoyed this. It had me reeling with turmoil & I kept second guessing through the whole thing. The plot twists was written so well as well. & it does make you realize you don’t know a murderer even though you say “I’ll know one”. You really won’t.
