A great mystery story with a diverse cast of believeable characters. I read this as an audiobook, and the voice acting was also top-notch. YA Fiction suitable for 14+ but very enjoyable for adults too! Lots of trigger warnings (as you might expect for a murder/thriller) but compelling and engaging, and well worth a read.

i read probably over three quarters of this book in one sitting because it was SO ADDICTIVE

characters 10/10. plot 10/10. plot twists 10/10. i came into this thinking i was spoiled so had low expectations but turns out i was half wrong and even if i knew it wOULDNT HAVE MATTERED BECAUSE THIS BANGED. no words truly 

(also blushing like a mad man at ravi singh) 💓💓💓
