This is the most fun book I've read in a very long time, and by far the best mystery book I have ever read. I was thoroughly engaged the entire time and couldn't put it down! I got through it so fast. So many twists and turns, it constantly kept me guessing. SUCH a fun and engaging read.

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.

this book is absolute madness it has my heart pounding, feet kicking, giggling, crying. everything. the plot twists the subtle romance moments, god im so glad i bought this book/series on a whim because i never wanted to read these, i thought they sounded crap and how wrong i was. it's so fucking good. 

the characters i lover (the good ones obvs) the whole discovering a case thing was amazing the lies hidden in it and figuring the case out yourself. amazing. and the ending i never suspected the person.

Spoiler

i did think it was elliot and i was right but i never thought it was becca too. crazy.
