This was incredible. I don't often read thrillers, but this drew me in and would not let go. I stayed up until 3am to finish it.

A bit long and all the reveals happened at the very end. It would have been better to spread out the content more or make the book shorter.
Pip is a complicated character and not always the most loveable but she makes a good protagonist and a large point of the book is that nobody is good or bad, Pip fits into this really well.

I inhaled this book in only two days bc i was so captivated by it.
It was very well written und the plot was so clear that i always understood what Pip was discovering yet again. 
In the middle it was a LITLLE slow bc it was just one new realisation after another. But than there came some big plot twists and everything was soo tense again until the very last page.
Plus I really liked the characters (she still had both partents lol) and she was kinda funny and relatable (even so she's a huge workaholic). I also liked Ravi and their chemistry <3

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.
