Pippa is a senior student preparing her major project for school and of course chooses the obvious topic, the murder of a fellow student 5 years prior.
We thus head into a Nancy Drew-esque drama as Pip does her “research” / meddling / investigation / recklessly endangers herself all to clear the name of the supposed killer (who is also deceased).
Obviously I can’t say much more as it will give away the “who done it” but there are some great twists and false leads that keep you guessing until the end. And I did not guess correctly.
As in many a murder mystery (on book or screen), I got extremely frustrated when Pippa would go into situations such as the woods at night or to confront someone by herself, seeing that’s a great way to get yourself killed. Plus it’s highly unrealistic that someone who this they have figured out the cold blooded killer, would then just stroll up to them and be all “so I know what you did”. But is suppose we wouldn’t have the drama if she didn’t.
As it is set around teenagers it is a very teen thriller vibe book. But all the same I enjoyed the twisted path it took me on.

Let's talk about the main idea of the book. The book was giving everything it needed. A little bit if thrill, mystery and of course the magnificent Ravi Singh<3
I loved how this was different than most books where they actually included logs of the conversations between suspects and the MC which I found very interesting and was actually intrigued by it.
This book had so many plot twist that even I can't comprehend 💀
Pippa Fitz deserves all the love she can get. Her character was extremely well written and one of the most loveable character there is.
Ravi Singh!!! THIS MAN IS SO FREAKING CUTE. Although he's been through so much yet he's still so positive driven and absolutely adorable.
" How can you resist I'm ravishing, get it Ravi Singh?"
