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 was enjoying this book up until the ending I really didn’t like where it went. I feel like there were a lot of other better options. 

The dog did not need to die, and so carelessly!

A nice, chill distraction from my school work, but Pip’s investigation was definitely morally questionable and I’m not sure how I feel about the reveal in the end hmph
