“I think we all get to decide what good and bad and right and wrong mean to us, not what we’re told to accept.”

my poor guy jack ugh that was brutal to listen to

maybe perhaps listening to the audiobook is better than reading it as a physical copy? the first book took me a fat minute to get through and this baddie was devoured over four days 

i look forward to see with what happens to that CRIMINAL that did that thing ugh what a fucking a hole boo the crowd boos get off the stage get in a jail cell

Excellent, fast paced thriller. Raises some interesting moral questions and has strong character development. It's teen fiction but adults can enjoy it too

It's quite a dark murder mystery and deals with some difficult themes

♡ Missing Person

♡ True-Crime Podcast

♡ Amateur Detective Work

Again, much like the last book I loved the extra details in the formatting.  The little details like that are really lovely.

This book started out a bit cliché, I mean asking a teenager to help find your missing (possibly dead) brother seems totally full proof.  However, I did get invested after a while and the plot really went in a different direction than I was expecting.  The “who did it” was a bit random but it was entertaining to read about the journey.  

Pip having a true-crime podcast totally fits her vibe.  If she doesn’t become a detective after this I’m going to scream because she’s doing the whole police departments job at this point.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: First Person

Release Date: 02, March 2021

Rep: BIPOC (Main and Side Characters), LGBTQIA+ (Side Character)
