Must say I LOVE this book— truthfully, the story concluded in a beautiful way, and each turn and twist that Jackon wrote kept me engaged until the end. I didn’t know who the killer was until the end, but Pip was the mastermind who kept me going from one red string to the next. Can’t wait to read the sequel!

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.

It was okay I guess? I enjoyed the Pretty Little Liars / Cruel Summer vibes, mostly meaning that our mc is getting herself in every possible dangerous sitation and absolutely refuses to talk to anyone who could help. And there is this wannabe Alison DiLaurentis character. The case and the plot twists just were super basic and I never really got invested in the mystery. Not as boring as Five Survive though. I'm not the target audience anyway.

Listened to German translation on spotify.

(Side note, how dumb is it that there is an americanised version?)

I finished this book in less than a day. I’ve been in a reading slump for a while, and this is the first one I’ve picked up in a long time that I absolutely could not put down. The characaters were realistic and lovable and so easy to empathize with that it feels like you’re really stepping into the story and unraveling the mystery alongside them. I kept going back and rereading clues throughout the book to try and figure out the plot twist, but I still hadn’t guessed it by the end. The book handles sensitive themes in a way that both shows respect to victims and uses them as a major plot point to draw the readers in. I absolutely can’t wait to read the sequel.
