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.

I loved this book!!! It is tense and mysterious and the plot twist are unbelievable.
The characters are loveable an Ravi Singh is the perfect boyfriend... Pip is so determined and she never gives up on anything. It is my second favourite in the trilogy.
