Wow ok where to start this was my first mystery type book and my first book without any smut in as long as I can remember but wow this book was immaculate I didn’t even miss the lack of romance. This story had my full attention for days I mean I would be thinking about it constantly with all the plot twists and new information. It was fabulously done, it would be a perfect book for a book club because there is just so much going on and so much you could discuss. The story follows Pip a grade 12 doing her capstone projet on a murder that occurred in her town 5 years ago only Pip doesn’t think the so called murder did it. Its a story about a bad ass fmc who doesn’t let anyone tell her what she can or can’t do. She unapologetically in what she does and finding out the truth on what really happened all those years ago and who really was Andie Bell. It written as is the book itself is the capstone journal with text message exchanges and transcripts its very visual which I loved as someone who sometimes needs that extra imagery. I cannot recommend this book enough 100/10, couldn’t put it down. I’m very excited to read the next two books. But to be clear the Andie Bell mystery will be wrapped up at the end of the book so you don’t need to commit to the entire series right away. I hope you love this book as much as I did cuties 🥰.

it so fast read if in reading slump. from the first page it jumps right to the plot, it's multi-media, and the main couple is so so lovable.

This was a re-read and I loved it just as much the second time round. Pip is such a loveable character and I see quite a lot of myself in her. The pacing of the book is really good and continues to keep you hooked for the whole book. The ending still took me by surprise. I feel like I will continue to come back to this book for years to come.
