emotional lighthearted mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

also ich hatte sehr viel spaß beim anhören :) interessante, echt spannende prämisse und dadurch dass es YA ist, war es auch nicht zu heavy. eher cosy und auch gut einfach zum nebenbei anhören. 

kleine synopse: popular girl andy ist vor 5 jahren verschwunden und wurde wohl von ihrem freund sal, der danach suizid begangen und seine tat in einer letzten nachricht gestanden hat, ermordet. pippa glaubt nicht, dass das die wahrheit sein soll und startet als schulprojekt ihre eigenen ermittlungen.

für mich sind’s halt “nur” 4 sterne, weil die figuren schon echt sehr cringe YA sprüche rausgehauen haben und es hat auch einfach nicht immer gepasst, dass die autorin krampfhaft versucht hat, die story lighthearted zu halten… die themen und ereignisse sind trotzdem sehr ernst und die entspannte, witzelnde einstellung der charaktere hat mich dann schon paar mal gestört. 

aber das format fand ich super interessant. pippa hat nämlich eine art tagebuch über die ermittlungen aufgenommen und im hörbuch haben wir dann diese tagebucheinträge, die interviews mit den beteiligten und eben noch die eigentliche handlung.

I mean... What a fun time! This is what a young adult thriller should be like. It's dark and mysterious, but in an age-appropriate way for a teenage audience, yet still works for older readers as well. The clues get revealed in a satisfying way and aren't obvious. The characters are interesting and diverse in multiple ways and full of personality. There's some good social commentary, but it doesn't feel overdone. I felt ambivalent about the romance side plot, but it didn't take anything away from the main plotline.
