I think my only issue with this book was the I Know What You Did Last Summer part of it all. I feel like the author could've given them another reason to lie to Pip for that long that didn't very much almost directly mirror the movie plot. Not to say it's the first time that has ever happened, but it kinda just took me out of it.

This rating and review is on the audiobook. The narrators were good, though some sound fairly similar or as if they were the male voice of Pip's narrator. There were parts where the writing was odd, unrealistic that it made me cringe out loud. The mystery was definitely enticing with an ending that was not expected.

I don't typically read a lot of YA stories/stories with high school aged main characters, so I was worried this wouldn't keep my attention but I listened to the audiobook and think it was a great listen. The story flowed very nicely, not too fast or slow, there were a lot of clues to think about, and I couldn't help but love the main characters. Can't wait to read the next ones in the series and try to watch the tv series!
