Fascinating, but perhaps not the genre for me. I don't have any umbridge with the way it was written; rather, I realized that when reading it I don't like the whole premise. The idea of a teenager poking into a murder/suicide investigation and solving it makes me.... uncomfortable. So I will probably not be reading more stuff like that, but if you do like that, then this is probably a great book for you.

i quite enjoyed this book! the ending was really well done in my opinion and i liked the mixed media element of it all.

the only thing that i found a bit odd was that the main character is doing all this for a freaking school project and she is acting like a detective plus gains access to a lot of personal information about all suspects.
but i guess that is part of this being YA bc how else would she be so young and solving a case without the police.

overall as i said highly entertaining book and i will hopefully read the sequels to this one day.
