Ugh, I’m so glad I finally read this after years of it being recommended to me! It 1000% lived up to the hype. I loved the main characters, the fun formatting of the book, the writing, the humour, and the unpredictability of the plot. There were so many moving pieces in the story, and I think the author is a genius for how she made it work out so cleanly. The only reasons it’s not a full 5 stars for me are that (a) Pip can be a bit (very) ridiculously stubborn at times, and (b) I was never pushed to the point of tears or throwing my book. I still loved it and am very happy with the ending.

This is a book that everyone should read. This is a must read if you are a beginner. 
This book actually got me out of a reading slump. This was actually a page turner. This is so good. So many twists and turns after each chapter. The plot twists made me insane.
The characters in the book ; there were characters in this book that I hate to the core and also I love to the core.

Especially Max Hashtings. He us a moron. He knew sal didn't murdered Andy, but he kept telling that Sal was the murderer. I hate Sal's friends. No matter whatever their reason was, they betrayed him. Sal was innocent. And Sal was murdered. I felt very sad and I cried. The way that bastard Elliot explained how he killed Sal, my heart was aching for Sal. How could he fo that to Sal. Sal loved and believed Elliott. And for the killer of Andie I was shocked that it was her own sister Becca. But I won't completely hate her, because she had valid reasons. But she had the audacity to call Sal the killer, even she knew it was her. I hate her for that.

 
And tbe chemistry between Pip and Ravi. OMG!They are so sweet. The way Ravi calling Pip "𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲". Eventhough there wasn't a romantic scene like in every book ; like no butterflies in stomach and confessions and more kisses something like that. But we could feel their love that they have for each other.
And the way Pip's dad Victor calling her, "𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲". I love her family.
Overall, this book was a great book for me. I loved Holly Jackson's style of writing. With production logs, Interview formats and diary entries, Everything make exciting to read this book. I loooovvvveddd it. I think every thriller book needs any of this things like case diaries or production logs or diary entries so that it could be fun to read for the readers.
I am looking forward to the second book. I am so excited. I am looking forward to read more of Holly Jackson's books..
Thank you for this book ❤️.
