This book is very YA in that there are inappropriate age gap relationships all over the place, wild child logic, and fairly predictable plot points. I didn't guess the final two twists ahead of time so I'll give the book credit for that. It made me chuckle a few times, and I felt genuinely sad for characters many times.

I inhaled this book in only two days bc i was so captivated by it.
It was very well written und the plot was so clear that i always understood what Pip was discovering yet again. 
In the middle it was a LITLLE slow bc it was just one new realisation after another. But than there came some big plot twists and everything was soo tense again until the very last page.
Plus I really liked the characters (she still had both partents lol) and she was kinda funny and relatable (even so she's a huge workaholic). I also liked Ravi and their chemistry <3
