This is one of the best investigative mysteries that I have read in a long, long time. Also as an overachieving high schooler myself I saw as lot of myself in Pippa and it was impressive how much respect the author had for her high school protagonists.

I didn't guess the killer but the mystery and glues given by the author all held up in retrospect.

I really enjoyed this book! The first section was a little slow however when it really started going it was actually quite tense. I had no idea where the ending was going so I read it in about 8 hours. The layout of the book was really unique as you have some sections in normal story format, some in the characters personal notes for her project and then other extra bits like interview transcripts, this really helped me immerse into the story. I loved the two main characters Pip and Ravi and I didn't find their dialogue over the top like in some YA books. Overall it is a very strong book and I'm excited to read the sequel

I’m honestly so shocked how good this book was but I’m happy at the same time, my new obsession has become Ya  thrillers as you can see.

so I just loved theses characters ravi and pip were like so  fucking cute, 

but i have to talk about how intresting The plot was i had like multiple theories myself and audible gasped out loud when some of my theories were actually true!
I’m so exited to read the next two books in these trilogy
