This. Book. Was. So. Good! Oh my gosh! There were so many twists and turns, and I would think I knew where things were going but then something ELSE would happen that would totally throw me off! The ending was super believable too which I liked. I cannot wait to read the next one!

pip is the best depiction of autism without meaning to be and that's fabulous
an amazing story with awesome characters that even has an interesting sidepoint on how race changes what you're assumed of doing criminally (if you look hard enough)
